Decide the Best for Your Toddlers

Education for a child begins from the moment, they open their eyes in this world and it has always been difficult for a parent, to choose an appropriate preschool for their young ones, which plays the most important role in their life. As the time is progressing, a lot of stress is being laid on the systematic education of a child,since the beginning. So, regarding this, it becomes very essential for a parent to update about the significant information related to any preschool.

Nest Preparatory School
Nest Preparatory School
The first branch of Nest Preparatory School, Sector 9, Gurgaon, was established in 2007 and now has around five branches,which are spread across the city.One of the major achievements of the school has been producing students with dynamism along with an eagerness to learn, along with fluency in communicating in English, by possessing an excellent vocabulary. From the list of facilities provided by the school, the important ones include, air conditioned classrooms fitted with CCTV cameras, availability of clean drinking water (RO), safe and secured premises, and availability of trained staff in maintaining a low teacher-student ratio. The curriculum is highly creative and research based, and even the sports activities are also well organized. The school provides the best sports equipment, which are of superior quality, and also has its own splash pool. The school provides a library to encourage the students to develop reading skills. The library consists of books meant for children of such a tender age. The other activities include drama and theatre to reduce the fear of stage in the young minds and to develop confidence in them. Picnics and educational tours are conducted for the children, which are not only knowledgeable, but also add onto the aspect of fun and entertainment for them. Again, one of the most important facilities provided by the school is the regular feedback and information related to the recent developments of the child to his/her parents. They also provide assistance to the parents regarding how to get admission for their children in the good schools. In all aspects, the school furnishes the basic requirements which a preschool should have and works the most to produce the remarkable results.

Toddlers Junction
Toddlers Junction
The Toddlers Junction has its own uniqueness and known for its own quality of dynamic results. The school understands the significance of the initial period of the childhood, which requires the special attention and care. The list of facilities provided by the school include, the day care facilities, clean and hygienic environment, crèche facility, meals during lunch hours, spacious and air conditioned classrooms, which have comfortable seating arrangements. The teachers are well trained along with very supportive staff, which takes care of the little toddlers in the best possible ways and teaching them new things. All the extracurricular activities are also encouraged like art and craft, drama, and sports,which are a part of creativity and physical growth along with academics with equal attention.


Every school has its own limitations and advantages, therefore, it becomes all the more significant to pick and choose the best for the young ones and the only suitable solution to this confusion is that the choice should be based upon the set priorities of the parents, for their young ones, as they know what is necessary and required for the betterment of the child.

State of Education in Public Schools

Even after years of enactment of the Right to Education act, a majority of Indian schools hadn’t been able to implement this in every virtue. The fact of the matter is the Indian schools have lacked the basic RTE framework and hence have been unable to implement it in the school ecosystem. The act was designed to force the schools to develop a basic school infrastructure where students can learn through comprehensive education system. What is even more bizarre is the fact that eight out of ten public schools lack basic facilities like sanitation and clean and hygienic drinking water for the students. Take that for the largest democracy of the world!

Amity International School
Amity International School
Lack of electricity and basic seating facilities has been yet another alarming factor, which has hampered the growth of the Indian Schools. Now the question that will haunt us for a long time is the fact why Indian schools were not able to replicate the success of private schools? In a country like ours, where the annual education budget stretches to several thousand crores, why are our public schools still lagging behind? Private schools, for example Amity International School, located in Gurgaon, or any other school for that matter, have created a niche for themselves and ensured that our students embark on a journey which is both enriching and enjoyable.

Delhi Public School Gurgaon
Delhi Public School Gurgaon
Being an educational writer, one of the perks of my job profile is the various interactions I have with various educationists. In one of those recent interactions with the founder of the Delhi Public School Gurgaon, I came to know that last year the government passed a dictate urging those schools who lack a playground, to set up one in a period of three months. Now this is both hilarious and conspicuous. How can you expect a school to set-up a playground for its pupil in a period of three months? Either it is a clear case of lack of intent or that of lack of interest on the part of the government. The primary rule of overhauling any set-up is being realistic. Unreal deadlines or targets would never help any institute to gain what they are aiming for. In most likelihood they end up falling short every time.

The time is ripe for the education department to act now. What we need is more than strict and stringent laws. Practical policy changes will go a long way in helping the schools as well as in attracting students to these schools. In short, parents will have to make positive changes to the curriculum. There is no doubt that Indian schools can go a long way in terms of competing with some of the global institutes. Ultimately, what we need is a strong will and positive attitude. The success is guaranteed and will ensure our inhibited growth across a variety of platforms. Indian schools can take a lot of cues from education systems in Europe and America, where the right amount of emphasis is given to the holistic development of a child to ensure their academic and mental growth.

An Account of Comparison- Which is the best IIM?

One of the best institution in the list of IIM’s in the country is IIM-B. As far as the ranking is concerned, IIMB is the only Indian Business School to be attributed by the Financial Times Executive Education 2015,which placed the esteemed institution under the Top 50 Rankings. The location of IIMB in the ‘Garden City of Bangalore’ itself adds it to the advantageous position, amongst the other IIM’s in the country. IIMB provides all the five courses of management, namely – the Fellow Programme in Management (FPM), the Post-Graduate Programme in Management (PGP), the Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management (PGPPM), the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP), and a weekend Post Graduate Programme in Enterprise Management (PGPEM).

IIM Calcutta
IIM Calcutta
On the other hand, IIM Calcutta (IIMC) was founded as the first national post graduate institute of management and also offers the advanced research grade studies in the same field. Being the oldest institute, the location of IIMC is also one of the important features for consideration while selecting an institute for your higher education in management. IIMC is located in Calcutta, which is the oldest metro city of the country with the richest historical background and the beauty. For those with festive mood and interest, Calcutta is the best option to adhere for studying management, as the city is known for the DURGA PUJA celebration in the country. In fact, the complete state of West Bengal, drowns in the sea of spirituality at the time of puja.

IIM Bangalore
IIM Bangalore
While comparing the important aspect of placement, which becomes the major criteria at the time of making a choice for admission, IIM Bangalore acquires a better position to IIMC. At IIMC, financial firms account for a majority of hiring,which is actually not a major point of comparison between IIMB and IIMC, considering on a larger perspective. Most of the candidates with high percentiles in CAT are found in IIMC rather in IIMB, but still IIMB always remains prioritized for pursuing MBA.
There is the difference in the fee structure of both the institutes and studying at IIMB will be slightly costlier than studying at IIMC, which is another important aspect of consideration. Although, there is not much difference, but still it gives an advantage to IIMC over IIMB.

Although, the factor of studying environment of the institute is not a very important aspect for most of the candidates, but for a few of the candidates especially females, it becomes one of the important aspects. On comparing the two institutes, the environment at IIMC is better in comparison to the environment at IIMB. IIMC follows the philosophy of giving an autonomy to their students, so as to enable them to grow and excel in all the areas of professionalism and creativity. 

Overall, it is a very difficult task of counting the advantages of one IIM to the other, as all the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are globally renowned and have been recognized internationally by the other prestigious and esteemed institutes across the globe.

The Education revolution in India

Do you remember your preschool days? Seriously, do you? I won’t blame you if you reply back that there was a dearth of preschool education. The concept of preschool education in India is quite new, and one which hasn’t been heard off till a few years back. The roots of preschool education can be traced back to Maria Montessori and Frederich Froebel, the two founding fathers of preschool education around the world. Moreover, they have invested a tremendous amount of energy and effort in the overall development of the toddlers.

Icon International School
Icon International School
In the recent years, India has seen a tremendous growth. The Education system has got a major boost and a lot of money has been invested in the development of facilities all around the country. Also, this has led to the massive development of the other facilities, which have amounted to such positive display at the global stage. If we talk specifically about the Delhi-NCR region, this area has seen a lot of traction in the recent years. For instance, Icon International School, has performed to the maximum and exceeded the overall benchmark figures. It is one of the schools that have shown a tremendous potential, both in terms of facilities and expertise of faculty.

Juniors Lab Play School
Juniors Lab Play School
The dearth of quality education centers for kids has been yet another massive challenge faced by these institutes. However, with presence of schools like the Juniors Lab Play School among many others, the education market looks more robust and confidence generating. This has also contributed to the positive outlook of India’s education market to world outside the domain. Schools have started shortlisting various modules and have implemented incremental changes to the curriculum, thus, affecting a positive change. The preschool entrance test was hard to fathom, but now one could easily associate to this concept.

School facilities, localities, and surroundings are not just the primary parameters of the development. Our global dimensions have grown beyond the dimensions of this concept. Now, parents lay proper huge effort and consideration on the various limitations posed by such higher as well as primary education centers. Yet, I won’t blame you for your failure to associate India with such progress and positivity. Yes, still a lot has to be achieved. But these baby steps towards positivity and development are both important and ensuring. Also, a huge amount of credit has to be given to higher educational centers and primary centers. They have left no stone unturned to ensure growth and development of India in the educational field. This global outlook towards the country is very positive.

Ultimately, these preschools are the cornerstone of a child’s academic and holistic development. They ensure that each child receives the best and most trusting education. Primary education and its role in the overall development of the child cannot be neglected. Lately, parents have also realized this important and crucial concept. Preschool is a child’s first interaction point with the world outside their homes. Hence, a lot of research coupled with a due amount of consideration should be given to ensure their complete academic development.

Engineers are always in demand in the growing economy.  However, in order to aim high and to get the best colleges, students always want to follow the herd. If someone thinks of engineering, the first thought that approaches their mind is ‘IIT’. Nevertheless, India constitutes many other engineering colleges that students might not be aware of, colleges that impart knowledge and education of the same level, if not at a better level. There are only 16 IITs and 30 NITs, while around 20 lakh students appear for the examinations for mere 30,000 seats on offer.

The importance of technology in schools

The digital revolution has made it convenient for the students as well as the teachers to be a part of the 20th century growth story. Technology has been ubiquitous, just like the very air we breathe. It will enable the society to be able to make advances in life and all its future ventures, education included. In classrooms, technology is propagated and worshipped, where digital teaching aids like Smartboards are considered hallmarks of the school and advertised to the public as such. In the modern age, being tech-literate is pretty much a requisite and from a very young age, computer programming skills are taught to children, and they have increasingly benefitted from it. Therefore, while selecting a school for their child, these days, technology and state of the art amenities are one of the major concerns of the parents.
Also, with the changing global scenario, schools are also making a gradual shift towards wider accessibility of tools and thus impacting the overall medium of the growth of the individuals.

Eden Castle School and Fun Valley School – A comparison

In recent years, the importance of preschool years has been realized by all. Parents are becoming increasingly aware about the positive impact that a preschool education brings. Conversely, the growing demands and pressures on parents, lack of resources, and personal career ambitions have also forced many parents to look for perfect schools for their toddlers. Yet, before selecting an institute, a lot of factors have to be thought about and only later, parents can make a decision regarding the best for their child. Let us compare two of the best schools in Delhi, which have garnered a huge name for themselves in the recent years, and attracted a lot of eyeballs.
