Monika Abbi (Pre Primary Coordinator)
An innovative and passionate educator, Monika Abbi has more than an 18 years journey and a specialization in ‘Early Childhood Education ’with a vast experience in Inquiry-based Learning. She has played a key role in heading the early years’ department in reputed schools. Her combination of a can-do attitude and wide knowledge on ECE makes her excellent at managing multiple tasks, organizing and prioritizing her work, and offering the best possible support and guidance to the organization. She strongly believes learning should be focused on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity, but doing it. For her learning should be a two-way process; where the learning leader first try and understand each individual learner so as to provide them the easiest and adaptable techniques and a conducive ambience for them to learn what is delivered. Her philosophy is that children should be valued as curious, capable, and collaborative learners with their uniqueness celebrated and they should be given an opportunity and freedom to explore, investigate and pursue their individual interests to learn through play. She loves to propagate the words of Albert Einstein -” Imagination is more important than knowledge, for while knowledge defines all that we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.”
