After a lot of investigations into preschools, I chose Jumbo Kids for my sonâs playschool. I have been happy with the choice so far. Bright and welcoming facility, with cheerful teachers. Security is top- notch and they have a good system in place for pickups and drop offs, which was quite reassuring for me.
Prior to joining, I was informed that there would be a snack menu every week and snacks would have to adhere to the chart. This was difficult for us and it was the only negative we had. Planning snacks daily was a major tsk for us, since the options were limited and we are non-vegetarians. (The school only allows veg food.) Other than that, it was a great experience, and my son loved the activities and his teacher!
I had a good experience at Podar Jumbo Kids. Excellent environment, child-friendly activities, and caring teachers. The headmistress was always available if we had a concern.
The only issue we has was with their daily snack menu which only allowed vegetarian food, and banned Maggi, Kurkure, Lays and other foods from school. I found it difficult to send appropriate snack items to school, because almost everything that my son likes to eat was banned from his snack box.
I think they can be a little flexible about snacks since so many children are fussy about food these days. I understand that junk food is bad for kids and this is the reason for the strict snack plan, but some parents will find it difficult to pack snacks, especially if your child loves packaged snacks. Otherwise, we had no complaints with the school.
My daughter went to Podar Jumbo Kids this year for Nursery.
First, the good part- they have a good curriculum that doesnât place too much pressure on kids and lets them be kids. All activities were enjoyed by my child, and the teachers took good care of her.
The negatives â they donât allow daycare parents to send food from home for their kids. That makes it difficult for a child who is used to eating only certain foods at home and canât adjust to the standard school menu. However, by the end of the year, my child has begun to develop a taste for certain vegetables which she used to hate earlier, so not sending food actually worked out for the best in a way.
