Finding the ideal school for their children is a challenging task for parents. They create a checklist and seek a school that meets all their criteria. However, two aspects that parents consistently prioritise are the school’s reputation and its safety measures.

“When it was time for my daughter, Aahana, to start her formal education, we asked several parents for recommendations. A parent, whose son studies at Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park shared that these schools have a long legacy and have great teachers. On their word, we enrolled our daughter here,” says Ankita Pandey.

Read to learn what this parent had to say about ensuring children’s safety and the great teachers.

What do you appreciate about the school’s teachers?

The teachers of this school are fantastic. They are cooperative and take their work seriously. Since my daughter is in the nursery only, the teachers make sure that the kids are comfortable. In case they need anything, they are always at hand.

How does the school help in nurturing your child’s social and emotional skills?

My daughter’s class teacher has made a significant impact. My daughter views her as a grandmotherly figure, indicating a strong, nurturing relationship. This is important because if the child is not comfortable, she won’t share her feelings or open up and she won’t be able to learn anything.

What activities does your daughter enjoy at the school?

She particularly enjoys Sports Guru and dance classes. What is appreciated about this school is that Aahana has learnt punctuality and has become more social. She also shows a great interest in various activities.

What specific things does the school do to ensure your child’s safety?

The school takes several measures, including requiring ID cards with parent photos for entry, coordinating via phone for any issues, and ensuring no unauthorised entry is allowed. The fact that I can’t enter without an ID card assures me of the safety of my daughter.

How is your interaction with the teachers?

I go to pick up my daughter daily. I meet with the teachers regularly. They provide feedback, which helps in managing my child’s needs at home.

How are parents involved with their child’s education at this school?

There is regular interaction between parents and the class teacher, which helps parents understand where their child may need improvement. Parents are also involved in activities like Orientation programmes and Mother’s Day celebrations, which motivate the children.

Would you recommend this school to other parents?

Yes, I would recommend the school to other parents. I am happy that my daughter has adjusted here.
