Playgroup in South Mumbai

A first classroom of their own.

The first school experience should help a young child build trust before asking for performance. Familiar adults, sensory exploration, movement, songs and predictable routines create that beginning.

A choice of two Playgroup batches.

Both 90-minute batches run on weekdays. Ask the office which days and places are available for your child.

Later batch10:30 am–12 noon

The later batch ends when Daycare begins at noon. If you need both, ask about a place in each programme. The early batch leaves a two-hour gap before Daycare; ask the office how that would be covered.

Playgroup in South Mumbai

The first goodbye

Getting used to school, one visit at a time.

Trust before performance

A young child first learns that school adults are safe, the room is predictable and a parent can leave and return.

The body leads learning

Touching, carrying, pouring, balancing, singing and moving build body confidence, attention and early language.

Small signs matter

Using a new word, joining a song, settling sooner or exploring independently can be meaningful early growth.

Parent FAQ

Questions about settling and the school day.

Ask about settling, the batch that suits your child and what happens at noon.

The Playgroup is designed around approximately 1.5 to 2.5 years. The school confirms age and programme fit during the admission conversation.

We use familiar adults, predictable routines, short, consistent goodbyes, songs, sensory play and clear parent communication to help children settle gradually.

Yes. Mother-Toddler begins at 9 months. A parent or familiar caregiver stays alongside while the child explores sensory trays, songs, rhymes and movement. Two weekday batches run 9:00 to 10:00 am and 10:45 to 11:45 am.

The 10:30 am–12 noon batch finishes when Daycare begins. If you need Playgroup and Daycare together, ask the office about a place in both. The 8:30–10:00 am batch leaves a two-hour gap; ask how that would be covered before making plans.
