Top Preschools of India: EducationWorld India Preschool Rankings 2017-18

BANGALORE, India - Dec. 6, 2017 - PRLog -- EducationWorld in association with Centre for Forecasting and Research Pvt. Ltd (C fore) conducted its 8th annual EducationWorld India Preschool Rankings 2017-18 survey in 16 cities to rate and rank ­­­527 preschools for youngest children countrywide.

The country's Top 10 proprietary and franchised pre-primaries will be felicitated at the 8^th EW Early Childhood Education National Conference scheduled for January 20, 2018 at the­­ Shangri-La Hotel, Bangalore.

A national sample database of 8,002 respondents comprising parents with preschool children, principals and teachers were interviewed by over 100 field staff of C fore and rated and ranked inter se.

" The parameters of assessment were competence of faculty, teacher welfare, infrastructure, individual attention to students, value for money, leadership/management quality, parental involvement, innovative teaching, safety and hygiene and facilities for special needs children.  All the parameters were given equal weightage except 'competence of teachers' which was given double the weightage" says Premchand Palety, the founder- CEO of C fore whose broad based client list includes the Hindustan Times, Mint, Nestle and the Congress party.

Adds Dilip Thakore,  publisher-editor of EducationWorld: "To impact the importance of professionally administered Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) upon the minds of educators and the public, we introduced the annual Education World India Preschool Rankings in which we began rating the best preschools in the country's major metros and cities on ten parameters of ECCE excellence and ranking them inter se. Over the years, these initiatives have aroused great interest among India's small but growing community of early childhood educators and have also impacted the vital importance of ECCE upon the general public."
