day care/cretch in bangalore - Nurseries and Schools Discussion Forum

Hi,
I am new to bangalore and staying at BTM layout I am looking for a good day care centre for my 2.8 years old daughter as I am working. Also looking for an admission in some good school where I can try for admission as most of the good schools have already closed admissions.

Thanks in advance!

Regds,

You can mail me on pooja_bl at hotmail dom com

Thanks,
Pooja Padma replied. Hi Pooja,
Where did you move from? that way I know what your expectations would be. I would have to say in Bangalore choices for a good quality daycare or playcenter is limited. As lot of of my friends who moved from bombay & delhi & abroad are saying that Bangalore has to catch up a lot on child care services. Most of them are just trying to make quick money and giving less importance to who they hire (mainly teenager, high school drop outs, maid/servant kind of people with little to none experience and training), hygiene & safety. But yes, lot of parents still send their kids to these center as they feel they do not have a choice. Hence at the end of the day it is your choice to take risk.

So, I would strongly say stay away from Gintara & Kangaroo kids in Indira Nagar though they might lure you into new building, tools that they can offer. Important thing is for a child to be in safe, experienced hands.

As for BTM, HSR area, I believe \";Stepping Stones\"; is pretty good. I know that lady who started it and she moved from US with lot of experience and they deliver what they promise. But they might take kids from 2-1/2+ or so. Do check with them. I know they were planning on introducing for early yrs as well. There are some Euro kids branches which are good. There is one in Koramangala.
BUt again, make sure you spend some time w/ teachers and get a feel for the management's attitude.

Wish you all the best and feel free to call me anytime.

day care

Hi Padma,
I tried in Stepping stones, they said they have closed the admission. I tried to convince them but all in vain.
Could you suggest me anyway out or may be some other school cum day care.

Hi Pooja & Rajni,

Just saw your notes, was away in US for a month. Anyway,
Pooja, I know SSI is very strict in their calss limits and they are very good. May be you can try for next session. As for now, I know there are some Euro kids that are good.There are few in Koramangala also. Just make sure you spend sometime there. BTW, I lost your email. Send me a note, may be we can meet up so that kids can play especially in summer when there are no schools.

hope this help you guys.
Padma
