Two best Pre Schools in Powai - according to me

While there are many pre schools available in Powai there are just a few rare ones which are exceptionally good. 


As parents we want the best for our child and while searching for pre schools for my daughter the most highly recommended pre schools were Vivero and Just Kiddin' So I decided to check them out and they really did not disappoint. 


Vivero International - This is a relatively new institution which has quickly become popular due to its lovely infrastructure, teachers and method of teaching. 


Facts: 


Vivero offers programs for children from 18 months to 6 years of age and follows an inquiry based learning curriculum. 


It is one of the few pre schools in Powai with ample outdoor and indoor space. The place has lots of natural light, is open and the staff is a pleasure to interact with. In fact, this is the most child friendly pre school that I have seen so far. 


The best part I liked about the school is the detailed report that they give parents which mentions the special talents as well as focus areas specifically for your child and how much the child has learnt with them. Pre schooling cannot get more personalised than this. 


Though, some parents may find the school fee a bit expensive hence I would give them a rating of 9/10. 


Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Just Kiddin'  - is another exceptional pre school run by Mrs Sangita Sharma which has become the talk of the town for parents looking for a perfect school to lay a strong foundation for their child. This is one school which not only has ample play area but also ensures a complete personality development for your child. 


Currently they conduct classes only till Nursery but are planning to begin Jr.Kg. in 2012. 


I would rate them a perfect 10 as this one is also easy on the wallet. Hope they keep up their standards and grow as an institution - Powai really needs more schools like these.

Hi Yogita,

Thank you for your encouraging words. We have received good reviews of Kidzee, in Hiranandani.

What I will try and do is write & put up a proper review on Kidzee - Hiranandani based on more parent feedback on the blog which will help parents.

Hope the above helps -
Happy Parenting :)

Any feedback on Happy Minds which has opened up in Hiranandani?

Completely agree, Chandini. We regret having sent our child to Vivero International. Like everyone got duped by the branding, Eton House alliance, infrastructure, and glib talk. Nowhere have I seen such apathy towards kids. One of the teachers at Vivero, Ms. Jasleen Arora, in the name of discipline terrorises kids and treats them like 'toys'. Her philosophy while dealing with parents is 'my way or the highway'. If you are considering Vivero International Pre-School Powai do so at your own risk!!!.

You must visit TOTS COTTAGE - near Supreme Business Park. From personal experience, I can say its hands-down the BEST Pre-school & Day Center in Powai. It is located in a lovely Cottage setting and has an amazingly large outdoor garden area for kids play. The staff is extremely professional & highly experienced.

Did not realize how quickly my son's 2 years just passed by here. You can contact them on 9769404301. Kudos to the Management for starting such a great place !!!

Hi, I am looking for a good daycare for my kid in Powai. He is 1 year old. Can anyone please guide me?

You may visit Happy Minds at Hiranandani Powai. It's good.

Can anyone help Me shortlist between Tots Cottage, Kidzee Powai, Euro Kids and Just Kiddin? Which ones of the above should I consider for my 2 yr old?

Nidhi said...

I think the proximity of your house / office (in case you work) should be a priority to clinch the decision.

Hope it helps you decide.
Cheers
Nidhi

Hi All,

Hello all parents..my daughter is 19 months and is a kid with special needs .can any one suggest a gud play school for her in powai..we re not lookin for a special school

Unknown said...

hi i have a 10 month old son and am looking at pre-school options for him. As per the above blog i gage Vivero is not recommended although i would say i was most convinced on this one considering their marketing online.

Edify, treehouse, happyminds, just kiddin, kidzee, jumbo kids, nahar all seem like good options and hence I'm terribly confused. Can someone help give me a good idea as to, what to do?!

Nidhi said...

Dear Natasha,

As per my experience as a mother of 2 I can say that more or less all pre schools are pretty much the same. The criteria that matter most for me personally are 1. its safe & hygienic and 2. Its close to your home or office in case you are working so that you can reach quickly in case of emergency.

All the very best. Hope the above helps.

Cheers
Nidhi

HI,

I visited this blog few years back and so far this seems only blog about Parenting in Powai. Nice one.
My son will be 1.5 years and am looking for day care for him. My requiremnets are:

Clean and hygienic place/kid friendly toilet, clean toilet
not more than 2-3 kids of 1-2 yr old handled by one maushi/didi
Clean and hygienic maushi/didi with no habit of chewing tobacco or other stuff
Maushi treats kid as an independent and not think yeh toh baccha hain.
Outdoor space to play and kid friendly toys and outdoor area
true comments given in diary about quantity of food eaten by kid
some activities performed which bring creativity, develops gud values and lets kids enjoy(not looking for pre-school)

I live in Lake homes and would like to know if there are any options matching my expectation. So far I have not visited any day care.

Unknown said...

I am looking for a montessori for my daughter and came across peace montessori at Lake homes while I was checking online. Any reviews on that???

Nidhi said...

Hi Deepa,

I have heard great reviews about Peace Montessori...though my daughter preferred a play school and so does my son who goes to Just Kiddin which I feel is a great playschool, in case you want to check out a playschool too.

Hope the above helps:)
Happy Parenting
Nidhi
