On a vibrant day on 6 aug 2024 , our Nursery School had the distinct pleasure of welcoming an esteemed group of educational leaders from the UK. Mr. Keith Smithard, the Head Teacher of Aboyne Lodge JMI School, and Mrs. Gloria Barnet, a dedicated Pre-Primary School Teacher, graced us with their presence, accompanied by Miss Vidhya Shukla, the Program Manager of KEY EDUCATION FOUNDATION.
Their visit was a remarkable occasion, marked by insightful discussions and a shared enthusiasm for nurturing young minds. Mr. Smithard and Mrs. Barnet, both passionate advocates for early childhood education, engaged with our teaching staff and students, offering invaluable perspectives on effective teaching practices and innovative approaches to learning.
Miss Shukla’s presence further enriched the experience, as she brought a wealth of knowledge on educational programs and development strategies from KEY EDUCATION FOUNDATION. Her insights into educational frameworks and curriculum enhancements sparked dynamic conversations and ideas for future collaborations.
Together, this distinguished trio explored our nursery’s facilities, observed classroom interactions, and engaged in thought-provoking discussions with our educators. Their visit not only provided an opportunity to exchange best practices but also fostered a deeper connection between our institutions and the broader educational community.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Smithard, Mrs. Barnet, and Miss Shukla for their time and for sharing their expertise. Their visit has undoubtedly inspired us and reinforced our commitment to excellence in early childhood education.
