Lucrecia Maria Grane Pre-Kindergarten 3 & Pre-Kindergarten 4
ggenindia@gmail.com
My name is Lucrecia, and I am originally from Argentina. My family and I moved to Mumbai in 2023 after living in several countries.
At home, we speak Spanish and German, while English has naturally become a big part of our daily lives. I have a background in law and business, but I am currently a full-time mom to four wonderful children.
This year is especially meaningful for us, as it marks the fourth time one of our kids is starting PreK at ASB this time, it’s our youngest! Our other children are in Kindergarten and Grade 2.
I am excited to welcome new families and to reconnect with returning ones as we begin another joyful and enriching year in PreK.

Hi, I am Vishakha. My daughter Grace started at ASB in Pre-K3 and is now in Kindergarten, while my son Harvey has just begun Pre-K3.
Three years ago, my husband Frank and I moved to Mumbai from Germany with our two young children. We are a multicultural family and often speak four languages a day, one of the many reasons we feel so connected to the ASB community.
It has been a wonderful journey so far, and I am excited for another great year ahead and to connect with both new and returning families!
