Hi,
I had my daughter in this school for play group. And I totally agree with the view that Mony Thomas is just a business lady, good till you get the admission, but beyond that she will become too complaining about your child.
I think for running a play school, one should understand that kids will be kids and no kid is bad. If you are not able to handle the kids it is your failure and not that of the kids. Every time we spoke to her about our daughter she in her defense would start criticizing the kid.
After a month of putting her in this school we were kind getting to the fact that it was not the kind school it was projected as. An incident that happened with us was the final nail in the coffin and we took our daughter out of the school.
For the annual day we were asked to get our daughter prepared for a nursery rhyme. We prepared her for it and told her that she will be on stage to do it. But on annual day she was not allowed on the stage. She saw her friends do the act from the side of the stage. We felt awful for our kid. I do not know what she would have felt to see others do what she had practiced. I am sending my kid to a school to gain confidence and grow in life, not to be pushed behind. I would have been fine with my kid coming on stage and cry or freeze, but this stupid lady (Mony Thomas) took away that experience from her. She is a dumb fellow and does not understand anything about child psychology. I also complained about this to their head office but they were least bothered. After all they are JUST DOING BUSINESS.
I took my kid out of this school and put her in another play school in vignan nagar (not naming the school as I am not advertising for anyone). This school I am very happy with. They have well defined process on how they are going to develop the kid. They have well defined activities for each month of the year. It is not on the whims and fancies of the teacher as happens in Apple Kids. In Apple Kids I never knew what they will be doing next week; forget about a month or whole year.
In short, THINK HUNDRED TIME BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR KID IN THIS SCHOOL. These early years of your kid are precious and very important for his/her development.
Best of Luck.
