Shashkam Play Pre-School & Day Care, Greater Noida, is a thoughtfully designed home-away-from-home where children between 18 months and 6 years discover the joy of learning through play and every parent feels their child is known, loved and challenged in just the right measure. Established in 2017 in Sector-Beta 1, the school occupies a sun-drenched, 4,000-square-foot bungalow that was retrofitted specifically for early childhood: gated, camera-monitored campus, rubber-matted lawn for outdoor rides, a shaded splash pool and a miniature traffic-park that doubles as both play zone and road-safety classroom.
The curriculum blends Montessori sensorial materials with Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and the NCERT pre-school framework, ensuring cognition, creativity and culture all move forward together. Morning pre-school sessions (9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) run Pre-Nursery, Nursery, LKG and UKG in 1:8 teacher ratios; each band covers phonics through Jolly Phonics, Hindi readiness via story-rhymes, logical reasoning using Numicon blocks, and weekly “messy science” labs where children make slime or erupt volcanoes in the courtyard garden.
Post-lunch the building transforms into an extended-day care (12:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.) that nurtures babies as young as 18 months. Infants sleep on dedicated floor-level futons under dimmable skylights while toddlers wind down with soft music and lavender oil diffusers. Every child’s plate follows a 30-day rotating, sugar-free menu curated by a consulting child nutritionist: ragi idli with coconut chutney, spinach-cheese paratha, multigrain pasta in hidden-veg sauce, and baked fruit yogurt for dessert. Water comes through reverse-osmosis units aligned to WHO limits; regular BMI and dental checks are tied in, and parents view meal pictures and portions on the Shashkam@Lunch Telegram channel within minutes of serving.
Digital engagement is both strong and secure. Parents log in to the Shashkam Connect app to see CCTV snippets (looped every 6 hours then auto-wiped), teacher anecdotes tagged to EYFS milestones, and live nap-time heartbeat alerts from discreet wearable pulse sensors. A biometric entry gate keeps pickup rigidly father-proof: only guardians pre-mapped by Aadhaar and facial recognition can leave with a child, and every exit generates a QR-coded slip for the parent driving home.
The teaching fraternity is picked from Lady Irwin College and IGNOU early-childhood programmes and retained through poetry clubs and micro-sabbaticals to Finland; they also double as “aunties” during Day Care hours to give emotional continuity. Fees are all-inclusive—no separate activity or celebration charges—and cover Olympiad books, the annual costume party, rafting picnics to Damdama Lake, and monthly parental workshops on positive discipline or conscious fathering.
On any given afternoon you will hear squeals from the trampoline pit mixed with quiet concentration around the Montessori pink tower; you will smell sandalwood oil in the corridors and laundered cotton sheets in the nap room, and sense an energy that feels both calm and unstoppably curious.
