According to the report and statistics, around 1 in 3 Indian live in nuclear families i.e. approximately 400mn people. There is a steady rise in the proportion of working women in urban areas. And 1 in every 4 children born in urban Indian do not have the support of a skilled attendant at home. While these statistics may sound alarming its true that the double working parents and single parents in India are on the rise. This overall situation thus indicates that these parents need support in the formative and early years of their children. And one name that stands out in providing the best of education and care to children in their early years is Klay Prep-schools and daycare. Klay is one such wonderful organization that is committed to caring for the world, one family at a time. Its one of the premium schools and daycare chain in India that provides quality education and care for every child. Most importantly they enable women and mums like me to pursue their dreams and soar high in life.
With over 130 centres spread across India Klay Prep-schools and daycare recently launched its second centre in HSR layout sector 6, Bangalore. This newly opened centre is located in the prime and posh residential area of HSR. Maintaining the Klay standard across schools in India, this one also provides a safe and clean atmosphere that helps in positive learning of children. It’s huge and beautifully made four-storey building of around 12500 sqft. The entire building is made keeping the kids and their safety in mind. As soon as you enter the premises you are greeted at the reception which has got a beautiful play area behind it. A beautiful and creative book library in the play area completes the look. The centre has separate space for infants, toddlers and kindergarten kids as well. Dining and kitchen area are also separate. All the classrooms in the building are filled with natural light and a lovely play area where children are encouraged to explore at their own pace as they identify their abilities in a highly supervised and diverse learning environment. The beautiful décor of the centre emanates vibrancy, warmth, coziness and curiosity that quickly makes little kids feel at home. Since we had visited this beautiful facility during the birthday celebration of Gruffalo we were in for some amazing surprise and activities planned at this lovely centre. My daughter who usually takes her own time to gel in the environment around fell instantly in love with this beautifully decorated place and started to explore all by herself. We began our evening by looking around this new centre which was brimming with curious parents and ever inquisitive kids. Our first stop was a beautifully decorated books shelf with maximum books of Gruffalo and the likes of it. It was one of the places that gathered quite a lot of parent’s attention. There were many activities planned for the kids for this most awaited birthday celebration of Gruffalo turning 20.
From painting, building the blocks to colouring, kids were quite excited to participate in all. One of the most fun loved activity was a storytelling session wherein not just kids but parents also enjoyed a lot listening to the mesmerizing Gruffalo story. Dancing on the tunes of the famous rhyme “baby shark do do do do” was loved by one and all. Last but not least meeting this famous character Gruffalo was one of the most awaited things and kids went wild with the sight of Gruffalo live in person.
Well, this was about the wonderful celebration at this newly opened centre in HSR layout sector 6, Bangalore. Since I am also a mum of two little ones myself, I would like to also share my thoughts around the curriculum, facilities, and overall centre visit of mine. Let’s deep dive into the curriculum and other important aspects that make Klay Prep-schools and daycare the number one choice for parents across India.
Integrated learning program
The entire curriculum revolves around the theory of Multiple Intelligence of Dr Howard Gardner, Inquiry-Based Learning and Experiential learning. This award-winning program incorporated the multiple intelligence methodology that makes it suitable for every child. Children here are exposed to a variety of learning tools and are encouraged by teachers around to explore, experience things in their surroundings and ask as many questions as they can. While keeping the fun element intact children at Klay centres across the country are developed holistically to become responsible and confident individuals.
Child-centric approach
Klay focuses on grooming the child in a holistic way. They provide the best possible care and learning environment for children. Care and learnings at Klay go hand in hand and they also provide a personalized environment for the child to grow and imbibe good values. Understanding the fact that each child is unique and has different needs Klay has devised its learning in such a way that every child learns at his own pace using various methods of learnings.
Safety and security
Klay focuses immensely on the safety and security of kids hence all the measures are taken for the same. The entire building is covered by CCTV. All the doors in the building have got Barton locks to ensure that the fingers do not come in between the doors while closing it. There are safety doors all around to limit the area in which kids would be playing and wandering. They have enough caretakers on the campus to ensure that kids always get personal attention and care.
The food gets prepared in a centrally located place from where it gets supplied to all the centres across Bangalore. Absolute hygiene and cleanliness standards are maintained at Klay to ensure kids proper health.
Facilities at Klay
They have got age appropriate lead-free toys and learnings aids available at the centre. Aside from this they also have learning centres for music and movement, storytelling, art and literacy enrichment activities. Secure system and real-time CCTV access. They also have trained nursing staff and well-lit play areas for kids to have fun.
A home away from home
Klay takes responsibility of children as young as 6 months. Infants and toddlers require utmost care and safety to grow happily and Klay prep-schools and daycare provides the same environment and safety like home. Since Klay is a parenting partner as well, they inculcate the same values as parents would want to. From instilling healthy habits to inculcating good behaviour Klay ensure that the child grows independent, does age-appropriate chores and behaves well as well.
Daycare facility
This is one of the boons for parents especially mothers as they find it difficult to resume work after childbirth due to lack of good facility that offers flexible care hours. Klay provides best in class daycare facility to parents as they wish to support working mothers without having them to feel guilty. The daycare facility is available from 6 months to 10 years.
Trained teachers
Klay has got very well educated and trained teaching staff. The student to teacher ratio starts from 1:3 which ensures that every child gets personal attention and care. All the teachers across the centre get regular training on the best of teaching practices to follow.
After the visit to the centre, I can definitely say that Klay understands the importance of love and care that the kids need and they ensure that it’s given in abundance to children. Well, this was all about the wonderful facilities provided by Klay prep-schools and daycare centre in HSR layout, Bangalore.
Wouldn’t you like to check out all the facilities and experience the positivity and love yourself? As a parent, I must say it’s a great opportunity to visit and acquaint yourself with this lovely new centre of Klay Prep-schools and daycare and how they are great for preparing your child for a better future. Last but not least as the brand name entails, they are indeed Moulding C(K)LAY- Early Childhood Years!
