             We are thrilled to be ranked Thane’s #1 franchised

         “honour strengthens our commitment to keep raising
         the bar and delivering high-quality early childhood care
         and education to our 112 children. Highly trained teach-
         ers, structured routines, personalised attention, and a
         safe, hygienic campus is the secret of our success. All this
         plus a strong curriculum backed by skilled teachers pro-
         vides ideal foundation for a child’s early years learning.
         Therefore, we are grateful to your sample respondents
         for recognising our strengths across critical parameters
         such as teacher competence, curriculum and pedagogy,
         and safety and hygiene. These are our prime focus areas.
         Meanwhile by experimenting with innovative learning   outcomes joyfully and continuously upgrade our learn-
         experiences, age-appropriate technology, and enhanced   ing resources” – Saurabh Shah, Director, Learning
