"It gives me great pleasure to be a part of 'The Early Childhood Association' a pioneering Association started by enterprising educator Swati Popat Vats which is a much needed platform in the country today. I am sure the association will contribute in a big way in bringing the positive change in making early childhood stress free and also act as a catalyst between parents, teachers, media houses, policy framers, and thereby improve the quality of childhood education in India".
