Kindiedays Pro Success with Bedrock Academy in Bangalore, India

Tuesday, October 8, 2024

Bedrock Preschool implemented the complete Kindiedays Pro Program during the first half of 2024.


Now, our Education Specialist Stella and CEO Milla met up with Leena Chandra, the Founder of Bedrock, to review the results and discuss the future.

Stella: Thank you for having us here today at Bedrock Academy in Bangalore, India. I would like to know a little bit about how you made Bedrock.
