Preschools were judged on their success in ideating innovative, child-friendly and age-appropriate pedagogies. To shortlist and select these progressive preschools countrywide, nominations were invited from educationists, individuals and schools themselves supported by evidence of best practices in various categories.
The COVID-19 pandemic led ELC to reinvent teaching strategies and education delivery by using innovative methods. ELC has always been ‘learner centric’ and open to change, this has reflected in the approach towards pre-schooling and learning over the years. Even during the challenging time, there was an unwavering quest of ensuring high quality learning for every child. ELC’s library program headed by renowned science author Nandita Jayaraj remained open and functioning throughout and undeterred in the endeavour to ensure the journey of learning continued seamlessly for children.
From live sessions with trained teachers and full access to the physical and digital library, ELC’s virtual schooling ecosystem is vibrant and fulfilling. They have meticulously planned resources to enhance a child’s well-being. This creative and child centric approach towards learning has resulted in winning of the prestigious award.
