Nursery Admission in Noida - The Best Playschools

For a parent, looking for a nursery admission in Noida has become quite common nowadays because of the relevance of Noida as a prime city. Many professionals have moved to the city and have started families. In fact, nursery schools and nursery education in Noida is more common as compared to high school education in Noida. This is due to the fact that families often tend to move away in the later years but not in the initial years of a child’s education. So considering this trend, we shall take this forward and take the example of a couple of kindergarten schools to talk about the nursery admission world in Noida.

 Global Indian International School Noida

One quite renowned school that is often considered to be the best school in Noida extension is the Global Indian International School or GIIS Noida because of their unique GMP or Global Montessori Plus programme which deeply follows the world-renowned Montessori philosophy and tweaks it in favour of the changing times in the field of dynamic technology along with their own innovative methods which fall under 5 prime pillars that are- 'Excelerate' Programme, Multi-faceted learning, iPlay Programme, iCare Programme and Future Ready Programme.

 Established in 2002, it is an international school in noida with the GMP and CBSE board and grades up to class 12, GIIS looks at a mix of both academics extracurriculars and has an award winning holistic development framework called the 9GEMS ™  which trains students in Academic excellence, Sports excellence, Visual & Performing arts, Personality Development, Innovation & Creativity, Entrepreneurship & Leadership, Universal values & Ethics, Community & Care and Skill Development. GIIS has a CBSE curriculum that powers grades 1-12. The fact that this a fully fledged school till the final grade makes it a great and efficient option for a nursery education. It even has multiple campuses across the country in Pune and Bangalore so in case you ever need to move town, you would be able to continue your education without much hassle.

At GIIS, they connect you to a mentor in the initial stages of admission who tells you about their unique programme and how it stands different from any other school that carries the tag of a Montessori school. Both the module and the physical classroom is explained and you get to see that the classroom is designed for the children in such ways that it induces maximum learning along with ample physical activity due to the open space concept. That 'Plus' goes to show the integration of the original Montessori theory with state-of-the-art pedagogical techniques and insights by strengthening formal learning along with innovating learning tools. Apart from all this, there are active connections with universities and industries that operate with all new methodologies for children to understand. GIIS also believes in accelerating the learning speed through smart and efficient delivery and thus the teachers are trained specifically on the principles that GIIS follows. This makes it stand apart from any other nursery school.

One of the teachers there, Ms Rachna Jain who has been the one in charge of all nursery activities explained quite clearly how they make it worth the while for both the parents and the children. This is again quite an important aspect because a good nursery school needs to have the teachers and faculty to be motivated in the quest of knowledge sharing with the children and this is where GIIS does not miss out.

I think the best way would be to see for yourself by booking a tour (both virtual or regular) through the website of this best school in Noida extension. 

Shemrock Nursery

Another pretty good nursery with multiple campuses in Noida itself, it was started in the year 2016 as the Shemrock chain of preschools and claims to be the first such chain in all of India. They have more than 500 centres in India and some even in Nepal. In Noida, it is in Sector 45 and is called Shemrock Morning Glory and has 70+ centres in the Delhi-NCR region alone.

This kindergarten school provides a cheerful and colourful environment for the children, and helps pave the way for their joyful learning and development. Shemrock converts every day learning into unique learning experiences for the children, by infusing love and care into all the areas of learning. Shemrock Morning Glory hires teachers who make sure that the children are given immense ample happiness, complete freedom and necessary encouragement & guidance, enabling their young minds to grow and operate in the fun-filled environment of preschool life.

Quite interestingly, Chota Bheem is the chain’s brand ambassador. Talk about depth in thought for the children!

Their demonym is SHEMROCKites and they try to establish a sound relationship between the parents and the teachers. At the nursery level, parents too are teachers and hence it becomes vital to coordinate learning between the faculty and the teachers. Therefore, they have formed a unique school-home partnership programme that is titled ‘Synergy’. The word Synergy literally means the ‘coming together of two distinct influences for a common purpose’. 

As a Shemrock Parent, you get to be a part of the Synergy programme and will be invited to attend diverse parent participation programmes, parenting workshops, student/teacher performances, parent & grandparent volunteer days etc. thereby, enhancing your own parenting skills but also offering an opportunity to send across a message to the child that their little lives are not so little.

Attending Synergy programmes also results in tying the communication gap between the home and the school. As a result, both work in tapering the fine ends of learning which ensures that Shemrock children are better understood and are more insightful through a healthy & a positive environment both at school and at home.

These two schools are quite a rage in Noida and can definitely be looked into in case you are starting out. The only major difference between them is that GIIS is a whole international school with branches even as far as in Japan but Shemrock is mostly limited to the Indian subcontinent and is not a school. There is however, not a huge difference in the quality of education.
