Popular questions
01. What age groups do you accept at Nurtura?
We welcome children from 1 year to 6 years old, across five thoughtfully designed programs: Toddlers, Playgroup, Nursery, LKG, and UKG. Each program is tailored to match the developmental stage of your child — not just their age.
02. Does my child need to be toilet-trained to join?
No. We understand every child is on their own timeline. Our staff gently supports children in developing independence in toileting — without pressure or judgment.
03. What kind of curriculum do you follow?
At Nurtura, we offer a blended curriculum that combines the structure of Montessori with the flexibility of play school methods. Children learn through hands-on exploration, free play, and guided activities that build core skills. Our approach includes early pre-writing experiences like tracing, making patterns, and fine motor work — all introduced through playful, engaging formats.
04. What is a typical day like at Nurtura?
A day at Nurtura includes free play, circle time, outdoor activities, music and movement, sensorial learning, group games, story sessions, and peaceful transitions — all balanced with flexibility for the individual child.
05. Will my child be learning academics like reading and writing?
Yes — but in a way that’s developmentally appropriate. We focus on building strong pre-literacy and numeracy foundations through stories, play, and hands-on activities. Formal reading and writing emerge naturally in the older programs (LKG and UKG).
06. How do you handle separation anxiety?
Gently. Our team is trained to support both children and parents through the transition process. We encourage a gradual settling-in period and work with you to help your child feel safe and secure.
07. How do you manage discipline or behavior challenges?
We don’t believe in punishment. Instead, we focus on positive guidance, respectful communication, and helping children understand their emotions and choices. Every moment is a learning opportunity.
08. Do you offer meals or snacks?
Yes, we do! We provide nutritious, age-appropriate meal plans that are thoughtfully curated to support your child’s physical development and energy levels throughout the day. Our meals are simple, balanced, and designed to encourage independent eating habits — with a focus on wholesome, child-friendly options. We also work with parents to accommodate dietary restrictions or preferences where possible.
09. How often do you update parents?
We believe in strong parent partnerships. You’ll receive regular updates through our communication tools — photos, observations, newsletters, and personal check-ins. We’re always available to talk.
10. Can I visit the school before enrolling?
Absolutely! We encourage you to visit, observe a class, and speak with our team. Nurtura is as much a home for families as it is for children — and we’d love for you to experience it firsthand.
