The school nurtures nursery kids by creating a safe, engaging, and stimulating environment. “I chose Apeejay School, Noida, because it perfectly fits my expectations in every way. The school is close to my home, making daily travel convenient. It offers an excellent balance between academics and extracurricular activities, ensuring holistic development — all within a reasonable budget that provides great value for quality education,” shares Pawan Kathuria, whose son, Sourish, studies in the nursery here.

Read on to know how, through play-based learning, storytelling, arts, and interactive activities, children develop language, social, and cognitive skills.

How is the parent-teacher interaction here?

The parent-teacher interaction here is excellent. All meetings are fantastic. Sourish’s class teacher is well-informed and attentive. She knew every little detail about my child and explained everything clearly. Her dedication and understanding made us feel confident and supported in our child’s academic and personal development.

What has Sourish learnt so far academically?

Sourish has learned much more than just the basics. He is now able to eat on his own, has become noticeably more talkative, and shows a deeper understanding of emotions. Compared to his play school days, his overall development, both academically and emotionally, has significantly improved and is clearly visible.

What best practices do teachers use here?

The teachers here are already following the best practices. I don’t feel the need to suggest anything, as they clearly understand what’s best for the children. Their approach is thoughtful, effective, and child-centric, reflecting their experience and dedication to providing a nurturing and enriching learning environment for every student.

What are the core strength areas of the school?

The school’s core strengths include well-maintained play amenities, clean and organised classrooms despite the older premises, and consistent, timely feedback from teachers to parents. These elements create a supportive and engaging environment that promotes both learning and development, reflecting the school’s commitment to student growth and parental involvement.

How is the school promoting holistic education?

The school promotes holistic education by encouraging storytelling and interactive sessions where each student shares their thoughts, building confidence and emotional strength. Along with this, teachers enhance learning by offering realistic, hands-on experiences, like demonstrating milking, cooking, or fire safety, helping students connect classroom concepts with real-life applications and develop practical understanding.
