Our promotion from #4 in 2020-21 to the #1 preschool
in Kolkata in this challenging pandemic year is a won-
“derful gift! Years of sincere hard work, love of our chil-
dren and support of our parents has steadily improved our
ranking from #7 in 2018-19 to #4 in 2020-21 to #1 this
year. I believe it is our fast response to the pandemic chal-
lenge that has won us the respect of the public. We reacted
quickly and started our online classes from March 2020
itself taking care to keep children entertained, engaged and
learning online. The majority of our parents accepted this
new learning format but some pulled their children out. We
also had to make some staff cuts but the positive outcome
is that we are more resilient, innovative and fully prepared
for the future” — N a b a n ita B os e M u k h e rj e e , founder-
