Parents of Preschoolers  Discussion Forum

It’s sad to see how these big chains have no way to check what happens in all their branches. The Euro Kids BTM Layout is one classic example-they have all fancy play equipment but sadly the kids are not allowed to play in them. When we asked the teacher she said they are very costly and so the owner has told them to not let the kids play in them too much. The same for the other stuff stated in the brochure like library books, computer time, water play and gym time. The kids are made to sit in front of the PC in the Principal’s office and watch some stuff and it’s called computer time. No hands on experience. Again when we asked the teacher why the answer was the same-it’s very costly and kids spoil computers and books! Why open a preschool if you don’t intend to allow them to touch anything? Open a Museum instead!

The teachers are also not trained to handle little kids-the inexperience shows in the fact that they have no patience with kids. They have no Montessori training or similar qualifications-just regular housewives or fresh graduates!

Angry bird replied. The owner lady is so cunning-she is removing all negative comments about BTM branch from other website saying it is bringing loss to her business!! All she thinks about is MONEY,MONEY,Money!
But you cannot hide TRUTH-parents have the right to know how bad the BTM layout Euro kids is! Wish we could form a Parents Association and demand our money back. What an utter waste :( Swapna replied. It is sad know that schools under big brand names follow these practices. When my daughter was 2, I started shopping for preschools. But at all the places I looked at I was concerned about several things. I' ll give you an example of one place (granted this one was the worst of the bunch). The interior was so dark and depressing. The playground equipment was a joke (there was no sand or grass, just concrete).

I would prefer schools Like Little Einsteins Preschool.
It is like night and day (literally). Where the other place was dark, Little Einsteins preschool classrooms are full of light, with bright decorations and class projects on the walls. Right from the start I felt better. They take the children' s safety seriously. There' s a gate you walk through that unlocks high up so none of the children can get out the gate by themselves, The playground is awesome by the way! Fun play sets and swings, a huge tree shading the sand and these great little nooks in the wall where they grow plants for class projects. The centre head spent time introducing me to the teachers and telling me the policies of the school. I was very impressed and I enrolled my son immediately. The Teachers are great! My son loves school and so does my niece. They are helpful, understanding, thorough and overall a pleasure to work with. My son has also learned so much there, we do not do anything academically with my son but he has picked up sooo much from this school that it has given us the momentum to get on the academics with him.

My son goes to Little Einsteins preschool at Hosur.
