Honoured Jharkhand Ratna

For distinguished contribution to pre-primary education in the state.

Over the years, what began as a single preschool has evolved into a trusted chain of premium preschools, recognised for its child-centric philosophy, modern learning environments and strong partnership with families. Under her leadership, Mere Nanhe Kadam has become known for combining international best practices in early childhood education with the timeless cultural values of India.

Academically, Mrs. Singh holds an MBA in Finance & Marketing from Apeejay School of Management, New Delhi, where she graduated as a Gold Medalist. She also earned her bachelor's degree from St. Xavier's College, Ranchi, graduating as University Topper in Advertising, Sales Promotion and Sales Management. This unique combination of educational leadership and management expertise has enabled her to build an institution that is both academically progressive and operationally excellent.

With a distinguished academic background and an unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds, Mrs. Singh founded Mere Nanhe Kadam in 2013 with a clear vision: to elevate the standards of preschool education and create learning environments where every child feels safe, valued, confident and inspired to grow.

Her educational philosophy extends beyond traditional classroom learning, focusing equally on emotional security, independent thinking, communication skills and holistic development. Long before technology became commonplace in preschool education, she championed the integration of smart classrooms, experiential learning, sensory play and research-based teaching methodologies — creating future-ready learners while preserving the joy, innocence and emotional richness of childhood.

She has dedicated herself to building a culture of continuous teacher development, empowering educators with modern pedagogy, compassionate leadership and child-centric practices. Her vision is to transform every teacher into an inspiring mentor who nurtures curiosity, confidence and character in every child.

Mrs. Singh is also a sought-after speaker who shares her insights on educational leadership, innovation and women entrepreneurship through conferences, professional forums and academic institutions. Her work continues to inspire educators, school leaders and parents alike.

"Every child deserves a childhood filled with love, dignity, curiosity and confidence. Education should never rush childhood — it should enrich it."— Mrs. Vibha Singh

Founder's Message

Mrs. Vibha Singh

"At Mere Nanhe Kadam, every child is treated like family. My students are not just learners to me — they are my own children. For them, I am not simply 'Ma'am'; I am a caring mother figure who understands their emotions, needs and individuality."

"Being a mother myself, I understand how emotional it can be for parents to send their child to school for the very first time. With that at heart, I envisioned an environment that feels like a true home away from home — a place where children feel safe, loved, comfortable and happy."

"At MNK, every child is heard, understood, appreciated and accepted just the way they are. Our teaching and support staff are carefully trained to interact with children with kindness, positivity, sensitivity and care — while a modern, technology-enabled learning environment prepares them to become confident global citizens of tomorrow."

"Over the years, Mere Nanhe Kadam has grown with the trust, love and support of parents who believe in our commitment to holistic child development and nurturing young minds with care and excellence."
