Inclusive

Embracing diversity, we celebrate each child's unique qualities, fostering a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and included.

Responsible

At our preschool, we instill a strong sense of responsibility, guiding children to make thoughtful choices and take ownership of their actions.

Respectful

Respect is the cornerstone of our preschool, where children learn to honor and appreciate differences, while treating others with kindness and empathy.

Collaborative

Collaboration is at the heart of our preschool, as we believe that working together cultivates creativity, problem-solving skills, and a strong sense of community.

What Makes Pickle Bumps Different?

Picklebumps Preschool shines with its nurturing and stimulating environment. Colorful classrooms and interactive play areas ignite curiosity and creativity. Dedicated staff provide individualized attention, addressing each child’s needs. Through a comprehensive curriculum, Picklebumps empowers young learners to thrive and love learning.

General Care

Does the school care for the children? Is the lunch healthy and fresh? Does each class have a first-aid box? Do the classes have Air conditioning?

Yes! We at Pickle Bumps have enough adults to be on duty constantly.

The lunch and snacks menu has been prepared keeping in mind the age and nutritional importance of our children. The menu also keeps being changed according to the season and to allow variety.

We do have a first aid box which is updated at regular intervals.

All our classes have Air Conditioning and the temperature is monitored according to the comfort and safety of our children.

Qualified Teachers

All our teachers are Montessori Trained and well qualified with good experience in the same field.

Class Sizes

Ideally, our preschool classes have 15 or fewer children with the key teacher and an assistant along with two or more caregivers.

Image of Children

The key teacher and assistant speak of children as competent individuals who learn through play or as little children to be “filled” with information. The school and teachers have high expectations for each child and know their worth and value.

Quality of Artwork

One look at the children’s art will tell you heaps about the type of education your child is getting.

Planning

Although our preschool is all about play, it is not about a teacher sitting for 5 hours supervising children at play. The teacher plans play activities with a purpose.

During each school day, the teachers plan a movement activity, discussion ring, music activity, story-based activity, art activities,in accordance to the Montessori philosophy that we follow. The monthly theme is not the full extent of planning. Individual lessons are planned, along with the objectives for those lessons.

The Ratio of Adults to Children

If class sizes are larger, there are assistant staff either working in each class or floating amongst classes.

Stimulating Environment

It is obvious just by walking around the school that there is a lot of learning going on.You will see equipment and resources and children busy and engrossed in learning things. During playtime, the teachers take out all the equipment and allow free and safe playtime.The children have a variety of activities to choose from e.g. puzzles, games, playdough, a cutting and pasting table, blocks etc.

 

General Atmosphere

When you walk through the school, it feels like a happy place, with calm and content children. We make sure that the environment is a happy one.

Deliver high quality early childhood education and exciting opportunities that fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Through a holistic approach, we empower children to become confident, compassionate, and lifelong learners, ready to contribute positively to their communities and embrace the challenges of tomorrow.

To create a world where every child's potential is nurtured, their curiosity is ignited, and their love for learning knows no bounds. .

What parents say
It gives me great pleasure to mention that my son, Rigvedh loved his play school to the maxim! The one-to-one personal interaction made possible by the teachers, Varkha and Priyam themselves was something that stood out the most! It truly was a home away from home for him, leaving me relieved and delighted to send him to his play school I would highly recommend Pickle Bumps to parents who are looking for the perfect play school for their child!
