... Nikki replied. hi mother,
It is good to know about the school in advance and you have to know complete details of the school.And you need to have some clarity. Jai replied. Hi Mother,
Every parent would get tensed when they are joining their kids in the school.They need to check all factors of the school before they join.It would impact a lot on children. kajal replied. Hi Mother,
There were many schools in the place where you stay and it would be better pick the good school from the schools.And keep in mind to know about the status of school.
Leela replied. Hi Mother,

Based on some of the reviews on this school, I also chose presidium Dwarka for my 4 year old daughter. Couple of months later, my husband got transferred to another country because of which we had to request for withdrawal. The school authority made us run from pole to post for our own hard earned money. We chased them for over 3-4 months for a full and final settlement but they kept ignoring. Even after leaving from India, I continued to follow up with the school head (Nidhi) and accountant Sanjay but without much success. 5 months later, after several emails, phone calls, the school accountant transfers an adhoc amount to my bank account after deducting almost 70% of the total fees and never gave us any explanation. They charged us for the books which were never given to us either. They are a bunch of highly unprofessional people robbing money from innocent parents. Please beware! Concerned Father replied. Thanks for sharing your experience. Please spare a bit more time to refer some good play schools. Sonu p replied.

name of baby/parent is not required for privacy reasons. Komal Kumari replied. Hello all
mother' s pride is best play school in Delhi Akansha Joshi replied. My daughter is going to Mother’s Pride, she likes going to school and enjoys the activities at school. Teachers are very nice and loving. I just love the way they handle the kids there, I myself have seen, I accompanied my daughter to school for 1st three days and saw how good they are at their work. You must visit once. Arun Kumar replied. I am a mother of a 2 year old son and I live in a nuclear family, my son always felt discomfort and used to cry when he was with any person other than me and my husband so I was very nervous whether he will be able to learn in play school away from us. We choose Mother’s Pride and first three days they have where parents can go along with the child to help the child adjust well. I was really happy to see that on the third and the last day my son was feeling like home and enjoying with other children and was even comfortable with the teachers. This was only because of the positive jolly atmosphere, the engaging activities and the teachers who are expert in handling kids. I must say it is the best play school in Delhi. Harjeet Singh Makkar replied. Thanks for sharing all this information saloni replied. I completely and firmly disagree with the fact that Mother’s Pride is not the appropriate school for kids. My kid was in Mother’s Pride a year back and now, he is in Presidium, Mother’s Pride’s formal school. No play school makes the kids learn about computer, as Mother’s Pride does. I, being a mother of two kids, believe that both my kids deserve the best of schools in their lives and Mother’s Pride, Presidium are the perfect ones for them as they are getting trained for the newest internet savvy and competitive world of 21st century. As far as I am concerned, I am happy with my baby’s stage presentations and countless activities that his school organizes for students. Who doesn’t want her baby to be a leader in future and not a follower? At least, I am loving it here at Mother’s Pride & Presidium. Bebu Shah replied. You seem to be a frustrated parent who expect moon from schools. You would not be satisfied in any school of the world. Every school has a system of teaching and working. Give them some time and space to work. Spitting your frustration in this forum is the easiest thing you can do. Most of the times, if you have a small spat with the school, may be over a half eaten lunch box, people start abusing whole school.

My dear. You might be an unlucky case. But noth of my children are studying at Mother' s Pride schools. We are highly satisfied with their performance. I being an IT professional, evaluate each and every activity of my children and find that Mother' s Pride curriculum has been designed in highly scientific manner. But it requires lot of brain and exposure of latest child development theories to understand this. Might be that you miss such attributes.

I recommend you try some government school with a simpler setup. Bebu Shah replied. You seem to be a frustrated parent who expect moon from schools.

Upbringing your children is not you should leave it to the school alone,i beliebe it needs your contribution too because your child spends more time with you when nnot in school,so i would assume you walking him through what is right and what is not in left too and not leaving the entire reponsibility on school.

From the name it looks like a play school and play school will obviously have more emphasis on entertaining the children than instilling values in them.

Your frustation simply reflects the anger around the money you have spent for your child which you realize was not a good descision that time but somehow even you got carried away when you heard lot about mothers pride and without doing your home work admitted your child to mother' s pride.

I believe most of the parents who are talking about money in this discussion forum know from the core of there heart that its not money but the time constraints that forces them to admitt their children in playschool because most of parents are working and in today' s busy world if both teh parents are working who is goingto take care of the child in their absence and taking into account that one decides to keep his/her children engaged with playfull activites and takes a pledge to admitt them to a play school or day care.

Reading your comments about the school and the home work you have done with Sudha gupta' s background has nothing to do with the entire discussion because the day you will understand the essence of admitting play school you will not have much emphasis on where her husband was working and where all the money came ,as you did not have that innovative idea,so you crib about it.

Moreover reading your vertatim even shows you need to learn the sentence construction instead of blaming faculity there about this.

A 2/3 year old kid will not have an understanding of grammatically correct sentences ,sentence construction,so ona and so forth,its a play school and you they need to do is to ensure your kids are enjoying when in school.I hope you are not one of those parents who will end up creating lot of over achievers.

If you are so concerened and worried,i hope your reply to this post is going to be the outcome of finally what you researched and decided and would share that with everybody so that all participants in the discussion would have enough chices to select what to go forward with.

Good Luck and Stop cribbing !!! Shallabh Mahajan replied. My daughter Shreya Mahajan' s class teacher has done wonders in teaching and training Shreya. Not only has her verbal abilities improved but also her social behaviour has tremedously changed. From a slightly shy & un-cooperative child she is now a darling!!
Mother' s pride is providing such a wonderful creative stimulating environment to the kids and a special thanks for making Shreya a shining star.

All the Best .

Keep up doing best work .
