Schools play a crucial role in the early development of junior students by creating a safe, friendly, and stimulating environment. “At this foundational stage, children at this school are introduced to early literacy, numeracy, and life skills using interactive methods like storytelling, rhymes, art, and hands-on activities,” shares Varun Mathur, whose daughter, Unnati, studies in JKG at Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park.

The teachers at school have been incredibly supportive of Unnati. They are patient, caring, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. Whether it’s helping her settle in the initial days or encouraging her to express herself, the teachers have played a vital role in building her confidence and curiosity.
What has she learnt so far?
She has shown remarkable growth since joining the school. She has picked up early literacy and numeracy skills, learned to communicate better, and developed good habits like sharing, taking turns, and cleaning up after activities. She’s also become more expressive through art, music, dance, and storytelling.

Absolutely. The school provides a safe, colourful, and joyful atmosphere that stimulates learning and exploration. Classrooms are well-equipped, the play areas are engaging, and the overall environment is very nurturing, perfect for young children to thrive emotionally and intellectually.
Are the safety protocols in place?
Yes, safety is a top priority at the school. From secure entry/exit points to trained staff, hygienic premises, and regular safety drills, we’ve always felt reassured that Unnati is in safe hands. The staff is vigilant, and protocols are consistently followed.
How is the parent-teacher interaction?
The parent-teacher interaction has been smooth, open, and regular. Teachers are approachable and keep us updated about Unnati’s progress through meetings, diaries, and school apps. We feel like true partners in her early learning journey.
Is the school like a second home for the kid?
Yes, it truly is. Unnati looks forward to going to school every day. She feels secure, loved, and happy there. The way she talks about her teachers, friends, and the fun activities she does shows us that the school has become a second home for her, full of warmth, care, and joy.
