Welcome to Holy Cross

A training centre built on care, competence and character

Holy Cross Nursery Teachers Training Institute is owned and managed by the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross, an international religious congregation founded in Switzerland in 1856 by Fr. Theodosius Florentini, OFM Cap. and Mother Maria Theresa Scherer.

Inspired by the congregation’s motto — “The Need of the Time is the Will of God” — the Sisters of the Mid-India Province established this institute at Holy Cross School, Lalkhadan, in the academic year 2018, to answer the growing demand for qualified pre-primary educators and to empower young women who cannot otherwise pursue higher education.

  • A comprehensive Nursery Teachers Training Programme
  • Knowledge, skills, values and confidence for early childhood education
  • A pathway to self-reliance, dignified employment and empowerment

From the Directress

“Teaching is not merely a profession — it is a mission.”

Education is the cornerstone of a progressive society, and the foundation of education is laid during the early years of a child’s life. The responsibility of a pre-primary teacher extends far beyond classroom instruction — a teacher becomes a guide, mentor, role model and nurturer. Principal, Holy Cross Training Centre
