TRANSFORMATORY GUARDIANS
OF NURSERY EDUCATION
raditionally, civilized societies giving utmost
Timportance to higher forms of education tend to
somehow ignore the critical importance of
nursery education. However, during the two chaotic
years of the pandemic when not only the nursery but
the entire educational system went into disarray,
society’s attention was grabbed by this key part.
The parents came to realize that nursery or preschool
education is the foundation of primary education which
in effect is the basis of further education. And if the
foundation is weak then the entire institution of
education remains forever vulnerable to challenging
times and is always in danger of collapsing amidst the
severe crisis situations like the coronavirus pandemic.
Moreover, nursery educators and preschool education
providers are making it a part of their outreach efforts
that parents must be made aware of the importance of
preschool or nursery education. Physical, as well as
digital education, is the need of this time, where
sometimes it becomes imperative to go online even for
nursery education.
Yet, a physical environment where toddlers and
children are well cared for, curated and nurtured by the
teachers and caregivers through compassionate, caring,
and pedagogical approaches is always best for the
wholesome upbringing of these young minds who are
going to be our future civilized generations.
Comprehending this scenario, Sswing Preschool & Day
Care located in Gurugram, is making sure that the
objective of giving quality education and complete well-
being to preschoolers and daycare children is
undertaken through a holistic, child-centered, age-
appropriate, joyful learning program. The aim of Rajni
Chhabra, Principal and Founder Member is to provide the
kids with their second home feel through comfort, fun,
play and vibrant culture.
In an effort to understand and bring out Sswing’s
extraordinary story this edition titled ‘India's Most
Promising Preschool-2022’, of CIOLOOK INDIA has been
crafted exclusively for you.
Dive into this exceptional journey of nourishing young
minds by the most compassionate team of preschool
teachers and caregivers under the exemplary
leadership of the principal Rajni Chhabra.

Little Kids are like delicate and emotional flowers.
They are nurtured by their parents with love and
care. As they grow up steadily, they need to be
slowly introduced to the outside world and the schooling
system.
A special initial level is developed for them to tune in to
independent and interactive learning through the preschools
or kindergarten. Along with the preschool, the new form of
creche or the daycare facility also came into being that
takes care of the kids for the convenience of the working
parents.
Parents look forward to a place where their little kids can be
slowly groomed for regular schooling. This transition needs
to be very steadily made, transforming and educating them
with light, fun activities and games. Some well-trained staff
supports teachers, takes good care of the kids, carefully
comforts them, and introduces schooling through
storytelling.
Kids are introduced to an external activity place where they
learn to stay away from their parents, mix with other kids,
learn to play, sing, have fun and eat together. The preschool
teachers play an essential role of a friend, caring elders and
patient guardians.
This leading role is very skilfully managed by Sswings
Preschool and Day Care based in Gurugram. On
understanding the educational scenario and the need of the
working parents, Rajni Chhabra, Principal and Founder
Member, began Sswings in 2009.
The Beginning
Sswings preschool and daycare became an integrated part
of the nuclear families, which migrated from different parts
of the country to work in Gurgaon. It was started with the
objective of giving quality education and complete well-
being to pre-schoolers and daycare children. It undertakes a
holistic, child-centred, age-appropriate, joyful learning
program. The aim is to provide the kids with their second
home feel through comfort, fun, play and vibrant culture.
Sswings was lucky to have children from across the
country, incorporating the core values of one nation, one
people, right from its very beginning.
Over the last eight years, more than three hundred children
have successfully passed from Sswings, taking admissions
12. Explore, Express, and Excel together. It merges learning
experiences with opportunities for creative expression to
help children acquire the confidence essential to face
the world beyond home and school. Sswings believes
that consideration and care of everything
surrounding us are crucial, including friends,
neighbours, city, country and nature, including
the five elements.
The Guiding Management
Rajni Chhabra was inspired by her mother,
who was from a teaching background, who
guided her in starting the first preschool
and daycare centre in Gurgaon. Rajni had
identified the need and planned the
solution through her well-organized
preschool model. Right from planning the
infrastructure to equipping it with the
basic facilities for creating a warm,
welcoming and encouraging environment.
As the principal and founder member, Rajni
had been very systematic in developing the

levels is inducted with proper training and

Seeking Inspirations
Rajni being passionate about teaching the little kids,
grasped the teaching profession automatically at a very
early stage of her life. The conceptualization of the daycare
facility and Preschool culminated mainly due to the dire
needs of the working parents.
Impressive experience teaching little ones and
understanding child psychology to its core in real practical
terms. Furthermore, her exposure and opportunity to work
with personalities like Julia Gabriel, a highly reputed name
internationally in this industry, proved to be an important
guiding light.

values which govern one's life. If the foundation is firm and
stable, then the building of life will be strong. Some
activities that are conducted in Sswings are

Challenges Identified
Gurgaon, a modern city, has risen above the shadows of the
national capital in establishing its existence.
However, the challenges now are that it has its peculiar
requirements due to eighty per cent being nuclear families
of working parents. Long working hours and commuting
time offer them very little time for their children. It might
impact the family bonding in the long run.

environment to the kids as they firmly believe in the impact
of the surroundings on innocent young minds.
