Parents of Preschoolers  Discussion Forum

I am writing this as I want every parent who in interested in admitting their child to Kangaroo Kids Pune(kk)at Koregaon Park. I am toatlly in shock! I had to drop my son to Nehru Memorial hall for the concert practice at 9.00am. My son cried a little as he does notlike new and strange places. I was given a card by the management , saying that without that card I cannot pick up my son. The pick up time was written as 12.30pm. I reach there at 12.25pm. I am shocked to see my poor son standing all ALONE at the entrance of the Hall!!! I was very upset and angry that a school of this stature where all hoity toitys kids go, has no one to take care and wait with my 2.8 year old son!!! There were cars whizzing in front as the main door opens right into the main road called Camp area of pune! There were men strolling around, beggars walking past him! I waited there for 5 min which was like ages for to see if someone will come. THen a teacher comes out and seeing me standing with him brings his bag. No word or even thought of the fact that he was alone. I asked her why there was nobody with him? And the asnwer was blank, then another teacher comes by, who cooks up an excuse that there must have been miscommunication. I was livid and shaing out of shock, anger and irresponsibilty of the school. KK is well known as its Mumbai branches have actors n hifis kids going there. But unfotunately the pune branch has only cashed on the name. It does not care about the kids. Several times kids are found sitting alone with no one around after school time! My son was bitten by ants at 14 places and the school refused to own up that there were ants in the premises. Its the most irresponsible school I have ever encountered. They dont have water facility back up and there wetre times when the toilet was ful of poop. How infectious it is to send ur kid to this kind of unhygenic school. My son picked up urinary infection from the school.
I am so fed up and today was the last straw. Its been a day now and neither the principal, owner or even the class teacher has called to find out if my son is ok. I am still shivering to think wat if someone kidnapped him, or just took him away! World is full of maniacs, wat if someone did something to him? Wat if he started to walk in the main street with the heavy traffic all around him? I just cannot get myself to forget this incident. Anyone who has any query u can email me here or call me on 9890036569. I am taking up this issue with the owner Lina Ashar. If they can pacify me fine, else I will be going to the newspaper and tv channes to let the poor parent be ware of pune branch of kangaroo kids school. Donot think they are in the safe hands there. Infact if u leave them there u are at the worst risk of harming ur child. Karuna replied. I appreciate ur effort and care for other kids also. We must share our experiences.
