Playgroup, Nursery, LKG and UKG in Sector 116, Noida
The first six years are when the brain is most receptive and most capable of building the foundations everything else rests on. What happens in a preschool during those years isn't preparation for real learning — it is the real learning.
Each of our four programmes is built around what a child of that specific age can genuinely do, and what they are just about ready to try next.

Questions about our programmes
What are your school timings?+
The preschool session runs Monday to Saturday, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm, and Playgroup batches run shorter 2.5-hour days to ease little ones in gently. The campus itself is open from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm for children on a daycare plan.
What is the right age for playgroup, nursery, LKG and UKG?+
Playgroup is for 1.5 to 2.5 years, Nursery for 2.5 to 3.5, LKG for 3.5 to 4.5 and UKG for 4.5 to 6. These are guides rather than hard cut-offs — if your child sits near a boundary we'll talk through which group suits them better during your visit.
How many children are there per teacher?+
We keep a 1:8 teacher-to-child ratio and cap class sizes deliberately, so a teacher can know every child in the room by name, personality and learning style rather than managing a crowd.
Is food provided, or should I pack a lunch box?+
We provide a hygienic mid-morning snack daily. For lunch, we ask parents to pack a simple home-cooked box — we're happy to guide you on age-appropriate portions.
Do you provide transport?+
We currently don't run our own bus service, but many of our families carpool through our parent community group, which we can connect you to after enrollment.
Not sure which programme fits your child?
Tell us their age and we'll talk it through honestly — including when waiting a term would serve them better than starting now.
