Vasavvi

“I had initially set up my own pre- school, named Sishubon Preparatory School in the year 2001, after my return from Delhi, with the sole aim to provide quality education to children, in their formative years. Sishubon enjoyed huge popularity among the young parent fraternity and enjoyed an excellent reputation. As at them time I was pursuing LL.B. I was somehow not able to dedicate full time to my school venture. In 2008, finally I chose to dedicate full time to my career in early childhood education and care, and planned an expansion. I had found that a pre- school needs much more than a regular syllabus, to nurture the little ones. Thus, I finally decided to come up with our own chain of pre-schools, with a unique child centric curriculum, with a strong belief that ~we can nurture and create beautiful individuals, if we have the Vision, Intention, Perseverance and Enthusiasm towards our Mission. With this belief: Inner i Foundation was incorporated in June 2013” adds Dr. Vasavvi.
