TO THE READERS

Ashwini R, Founder, says,

“This message is for business people who are also parents, early childhood years are the most important years of your child’s life where development is happening at the fastest pace. As these years move so fast, I never miss an opportunity to spend time with them so you do not have to look back and say, where was I when my child was growing up and needed me. Do not compare your child’s progress with another. Let your child grow and flourish at his own pace and enjoy the golden moments of his life to the fullest.”

Sarika M Singh, COO, says,

“As Childhood is the most innocent and vulnerable phase of one’s life, it is our earnest responsibility to provide our little ones with an environment where they feel loved and cared for.”
