Excerpts from the interview

How did you zeroed down on Rhythms for your child?

I received a great feedback through word of mouth regarding this school. After I admitted my daughter here, all dreams of mine came true. Even infrastructure and the general environment is extremely conducive for the toddlers.

How are the teachers here?

They are really good and helpful. Each staff member was so supportive when Pari joined school in the middle of the session. Owing to this, each teacher helped her cope well with all the academic part. They have always been careful about how each kid performs.

What special teaching techniques are used by the teachers here?

The teachers understand the fact that all the children are small and making them learn different concepts is challenging. I feel, the curriculum is focused more on the practical aspect of learning. The kids often go for nature walks and other activities that sensitises them with out of book knowledge.

How is Pari’s journey been so far in this school?

She joined Rhythms almost six months back. Over this time there is a marked development in various aspects of her growth and personality. She has learnt how to do cursive writing, she is honed in her over all development whereby she has become more confident, expressive and enthusiastic. Even at the Annual Day function and other activities, she is more than excited to participate and learn so many things, which has also taken away the stage fear in her.

Would you like to continue with the Apeejay in future?

I am completely satisfied with this school so far. I like the building of the school, very spacious and beautiful architecture, along with the positive environment that adds an extra point. Besides that, the principal and the school staff is super professional and efficient in the school administration.

Is there any special memory of the school you have?

It was at the beginning when Pari had just joined the school, there was Diwali celebration here, so my tiny tot and I participated in the rangoli competition; it was is one of the most unforgettable memory.
