Pre-schools are the first introduction to school for a young child. Most preschools admit children as young as 2.5 years as students. At such a young age, many children cannot verbalize their needs and fears. It is, therefore, necessary for parents to look at the top pre-schools in their city. While the programmes may range from International Montessori to Global Montessori and self-developed programmes, all the schools emphasize developing skills that will help the child progress to higher classes with ease and confidence.
Here is a list of the top five Ahmedabad schools that parents should consider when searching for a preschool for their young children:
- Global Indian International School
The school offers the world-renowned Global Montessori Plus program to its youngest students. Maria Montessori created the revolutionary curriculum which focussed on helping each child learn based on their interests. Children set the pace for their learning. Add to that the GIIS Ahmedabad’s innovative learning tools and your child gets unique opportunities for development and growth. Parents can be assured that their children are learning while playing! Parents do not have to think about changing schools, as the children can progress to Class 1, which offers the CBSE curriculum.
