Dear Tejal Mam,
Before we say Goodbye it was essential that we as Ruddra's parents express our heartfelt gratitude to you for all that you have done for Ruddra.
Where do we begin. There is so much to say that words will fall short to express our gratefulness. We wholeheartedly from the bottom of our hearts Thank you and the Kookaburra for everything. We shall lifelong remain indebted to you. We truly lucked out that Ruddra had a chance to be a part of Kookaburra and we everyday thank our stars for the same.
Kookaburra is a part of our being and will always remain so. Parting ways with Kookaburra is going to leave a huge void in not only Ruddra's life but ours too. Kookaburra is not just an institution but it's an emotion. A class apart is how we would want to define Kookaburra. Nothing could & ever will compare.
The immense love in its purest from that you & all the Teachers have for the children is what makes the key difference. Also the trust & love that the children have developed for the institution is beyond comprehension.
Kookaburra is a second home for our children & if you ask them probably their preferred one. The Teachers take care of our kids & love them like their own. The love that teachers has for our kids is clearly evident in all their interactions with them. All the kids absolutely adore them.
Most importantly this is the place where the emotional needs of a child are met & are addresses. And that is the reason why each child without any fear of judgment freely learns to express himself or herself. This is the single most important aspect that we feel is required for a child to grow up to be a secure individual.
The nurturing environment at Kookaburra is what is most precious. It is amazing how Ma'am you identify the needs of each child which obviously would have been missed out by a layman & sometimes even professionals; and provide counseling to the parents on the concerns. We as parents have benefitted in so many ways because of the same.
Kookaburra is Family for our children; with whom they dance, play, sing, eat & learn fearlessly. The sense of bonding that Ruddra has developed here with you, with the teachers, the didis & his friends; has given him an emotional security that will last him a lifetime. The sense of belonging that Ruddra or we have here at Kookaburra; I don't think we would ever have anywhere else.
The 3 years that Ruddra has spent at Kookaburra have worked wonders in turning him into a super confident child who is now capable of exploring his maximum potential. His emotional concerns have been overcome with all the efforts taken by You Ma'am & the Teachers. There has been a remarkable turnaround in him. You guided us in the correct direction in the first year itself.
When the children are with you we are at complete peace of mind & absolutely assured that they are in safe hands & could not be better taken care of.
Kookaburra has taught Values & life skills to our children that have been instilled right from a very young age. Once it is ingrained in their system right from the beginning it becomes Way of life for them. Key Vales such as compassion, gratitude, self regulation, kindness, care are seamlessly woven into them. Some People are amazed as to how our kids are so proficient at following instructions, their politeness, their self regulation & also their grasping power.
Academically our kids have learnt so much here. They are light years ahead of all their peers. The curriculum designed by you is definitely par excellence.
But most of all the ability instilled in our children to think is what is astounding. The logical thinking, lateral thinking, analytical thinking skills developed at such a young age truly is what will take them really far in life. And this is also coupled with the zest of curiosity that is encouraged & ingrained at Kookaburra.
The Math & Language skills developed by the children courtesy Kookaburra are way advanced for their age. At the open house when we went through the worksheets solved by Ruddra; we were amazed with the level of knowledge & analysis required for attempting the same. would like to mention here that our kids are capable of comfortably solving 1st grade worksheets all thanks to the knowledge & thinking skills acquired at Kookaburra.
Kookaburra has given the children an upper edge, not just for today but something that will last them forever. The benefit of the solid foundation received in their most crucial years in Kookaburra is definitely going to propel them into a successful future. Ma'am you have adequately readied them to be prepared for the challenges that they would now face in the big schools.
The Skills Ruddra has learnt here never cease to amaze us. He has sometimes left us open mouthed in surprise when he has shared with us snippets of information that he has learnt at Kookaburra. One such incident was when at 2 years of age he recited the Guru Mantra & the Gayatri mantra for us. Absolutely unforgettable.
Ma'am a special mention for all the delicious lunches that Ruddra has had at the school. We could try all that we want but never match up to the taste. Their favorite lunches will always remain the ones that they have enjoyed at Kookaburra. The Pav Bhaji, the Dhansak, the theplas, the daal; the list could go on.
The spectacular Kookaburra annual day each year is something that we will never get over. It has given us some of our most precious memories and some of our proudest moments. These will last us a lifetime. The Annual day coaching that our kids receive instills in them a Confidence to perform on the stage without appreciations. The public speaking skills they already have sets them apart & gives them a huge edge. All the hard work and efforts taken to shape up our kids is truly appreciated. The attention to detail in all aspects such as the theme, visuals, costume is incredible.
All the celebrations at the school be it festivals or commemorations of days; they have always been spectacular and extraordinary. Ruddra thoroughly enjoyed each of them & will sorely miss them going forward. The importance of each of these days has so beautifully been taught.
We are those few blessed set of parents who have had the privilege to benefit from your expertise. This is an unparalleled benefit that couldn't have been replicated anywhere else. You identify all the help that the child requires to make them the happiest kid & you guide us in the right direction.
You have helped us become better parents. The coaching & the guidance that you have imparted us with time to time; has been implemented by us and the results are for all to see. We are confident that your words of wisdom will have a lasting effect throughout the developmental years.
The books & games recommended by you over time Ma'am are such valuable and productive and productive resources. We diligently use the same and are grateful for your guidance. We on our own would have never been able to discover the treasure trove of such effective development games & books.
The Hygiene levels maintained at the school in all aspects is truly commendable and an attribute that has always been very reassuring.
Kookaburra has been a melting pot of Culmination of all the right elements that our kids needed to empower them with all the skills & aptitude required to deal with the future challenges & emerge a winner. The School has also been the breeding ground for several lifelong relationships.
Ruddra's best childhood memories have been given to us by you. And you have given Ruddra the most solid foundation that we could ever hope for . We cherish all the milestones that Ruddra has achieved with you. Ruddra will always remain your child wherever he goes. All the future successes will be attributed to the rock solid grounding given by Kookaburra.
Goodbyes are always difficult. But this one Goodbye we don't think we will ever really recover from. The void will always remain no matter where Ruddra goes. Memories of Kookaburra will permanently remain etched in our Hearts.
We cannot express in words in words how much we will miss Kookaburra being a part of our daily life. It's heartbreaking to think that we would not be returning everyday to the warmth & security that epitomizes Kookaburra.
To conclude A big Thank You to you Ma'am, to All the Teachers, the Didis, the Cook, the Security Guards and everyone else who is a part of this awe-inspiring institution.
Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,
Parents of Ruddra Jaiswal (Ranjeet & Shruti Jaiswal)
