When I reflect on my time at Teddy Buddies, I am amazed at how much I have learnt and experienced in the two years I had been there.

Working with Teddy Buddies, under the leadership of Mrs Dolly Jose, was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. There was never a moment when I had regretted my decision of joining the staff at Teddy Buddies.

I had learnt that the most valuable asset of this school was the staff and I could not be more grateful for the atmosphere that Mr Jose Victor and Mrs Dolly Jose provided us with.

As the saying goes, "No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it."

The Teddy Buddies Family work together to adapt, acquire new skills, and restructure our ways of teaching, and our success as teachers would never have been possible without the wonderful support of the management, colleagues, parents, and students.

At Teddy Buddies, love, joy, knowledge, and the skill of working together brings forth a wider understanding of the school and its pupils. I highly recommend Teddy Buddies as a the living expression of a learning community—a community which happens to be set in a land of beauty and adventure.

While I paced the classrooms, I saw one with the gentleness of a dove,another with a thunderous zeal, and there was one with the vibrancy of a rainbow and then another with the profound strength of a strong cast.

They flashed by me like a lightning, some stopped by to exchange a smile.Amidst the beautiful bunch of children who adorned that place, I missed the tall walls and the tangible things that made the school.

In an hour's interaction,they led me to the world of their own, where I saw the spark in their eyes to view the world in their frame and beyond, the inquisitiveness magnetized by their quest to learn. If this was not all, every nook and corner of the school echoed their culture, so elegant so much that I was in awe of their place. When the young and old ones were busy with their work,they oozed eloquence and radiance which called aloud the culture they were instilled with.

My lips curved to a gentle smile, for the innocent ones with a passion to evolve as polished pearls, gifted me a wonderful day as a new teacher at Teddy Buddies, to be etched in my memories forever....And ever since then just the way I call Teddy Buddy as my family, it has reciprocated my love for them in much more ways. My stint with Teddy Buddy as a teacher has endowed me with a zillion beautiful memories. While I reminisce with memories supernal, I am super thrilled as Teddy Buddy completes 10 years and I can't wait to see my family growing for all the good reasons.

It takes a village to raise a child they say,and if your child is in Teddy Buddies,half the job is done.

It is a great place to work. The whole team is very Friendly, often relaxed atmosphere. No one is ever too busy to help out each other. It is great to work here. Working in another country as an Educator and migrating to home country and finding the same form of job was not quite easy until I step foot into Teddy Buddies Preschool, Vellayambalam. The management, the staff, the families and the children are the gems of this institution. Specially Our Principal and MD, is a great backbone to give us support, encouragement and respect for our moral values. I got hired the next day of the interview with the management and I was greatly impressed with the school, it’s structure and the way children are trained in an internationally accepted level. It is such a great pleasure to work with them. Dolly ma’m has proved to be an amazing leader. She taught me so much as to how more I can improve as an Early Childhood educator. Along with her, all the other staff has always been of great support. Working here is one of the best part of my life. Teddy Buddies Preschool has been and always will be a great place to admit your child in, when you are away for work as it will be your child’s home away from home.
