Teachers and care

Teachers have an ECCE qualification. Staff are police-verified and the campus has CCTV. Ask the office about places and adult coverage in each batch.

Food and health

Families send food from home and share allergies, health needs and the names of collection adults in writing. NAS does not cook or serve meals.

Fees, in writing

The office shares the current fee sheet in writing once your child’s stage is clear. We do not publish directory fee figures that may be out of date.

How to apply

Four steps, all at the school.

Every step happens in person at NAS. A visit before you apply is welcome but not required.

  1. 01Collect the form.

    A parent collects the application form in person from the admissions team, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 11 am, from November 2026.

  2. 02Submit it with documents.

    Hand the completed form back at the school with the documents listed above: birth certificate, Aadhaar card, proof of residence, parents’ qualifications and PAN cards.

  3. 03Meet the principal.

    A meeting with the principal is needed to confirm the admission. It is a conversation about your child and family, not a test.

  4. 04Begin in small steps.

    Once the admission is confirmed, the office shares the written fee sheet, the joining date and how settling in will work.

Questions before you apply?

Ask about age fit, places, Daycare or a visit. This enquiry form is for questions only; it is not an application form.

The office will reply to answer your question or arrange a visit that suits you.

By sending this form, you agree to be contacted by New Activity School about admissions.

Child fit first.

The first question is not paperwork. It is whether the programme, age band, independence and classroom rhythm match the child.

Parents stay oriented.

Before the first day, NAS explains visits, timings, documents, routines and readiness so the family knows what is coming next.

A transition in small steps.

Young children settle best when adults protect attention, routine, trust and small steps. The admission conversation respects that.

Readiness

More than early academics.

We look at the whole child: language, movement, curiosity, social comfort, independence, attention and emotional security. Early writing alone is not the measure of readiness.

Learning Style

Play with intention.

Stories, songs, guided play, materials, movement, art and routines carry language, patterns and problem-solving without heavy screen time.

Parent Partnership

Home and school stay connected.

Parents are treated as partners. Questions about settling, sleep, language, screen habits, routines and confidence can be discussed honestly with the school office.
