I am thrilled that the work we do to ensure all-round
development of youngest children consistently
“receives external validation from early childhood
educators and parents. The past two years have been hard
with all education institutions shut to check the spread
of the pandemic. We have had to innovate new pedago-
gies to overcome pervasive fear and hesitation about
online learning. However, we successfully designed and
implemented a robust online programme and maintained
a high teacher-pupil ratio, with three teachers in each
online class — without cutting any salaries. As a result, we
have achieved high teacher and parental satisfaction” —
