My journey into the world of early childhood education is deeply personal, inspired directly by my search for the best care for my son, Abhi. Like many parents, when it came time to explore childcare options for him, I was often disappointed by what I found. The reality of many local institutions was that they offered a setting focused primarily on supervision and basic care, with minimal emphasis on comprehensive child development or truly preparing little ones for a bright future. As a parent, I consistently struggled to gain transparency—I could never truly understand if and when Abhi was reaching critical developmental milestones, nor was there clarity on how a child might be supported if their learning style was unique or different.
