Hi, My son started his schooling from Eurokids, Yemlur Branch. His play group period was good. Though the teacher was not competent as per industry language [she used to be very afraid the moment you ask her any question, that could be because of her less experience], but I was very sure that she was very good with kids. Her kid handling was also good. My son still remember her name and remember Eurokids as XYZ man's school [Do not want to disclose her name]. The nightmare started when he went to Nursery. My son used to cry every day morning while going to school. I tried to analyze what was the change.
1st change was Teacher. I do not want to disclose her name in public forum, but in my word worst, lethargic, inactive, halfhearted teacher. The class [especially nursery] was not decorated properly, it was shabby inspire of being in 1st floor. I believe in every thing teacher used to say "NO" and my son caught that word.in every thing, he started saying no. I was really worried. After the 1st parent-teacher meeting, all my doubts were clear. I knew that reason. I informed the same to Schools Co-Ordinator. Do not know any change happened or not, because my son left the school.
2nd change syllabus. I believe teachers were so much engrossed in finishing the curriculum, that stopped allowing free play for kids, even for tiffin time, they used to have tiffin in class and not used to play outside. Where as kids from Ground floor class used to play outside during tiffin. Later I realized, that if 10-12 kids come for playing from 1st floor to ground floor, they need to be escorted and bring them back to class. These teacher were lazy to do that and interested in somehow finish the workbooks. I shared the same with their co-ordinator. She also told that same. So not much help. My question will be, if 10 page work book is not finished, what is wrong there.they finished 90 pages already. So major learning from book is done, let them learn from nature, let them explore outside.
3rd reason is school interior re-structuring. Earlier the kids gym area was really nice. Lot of light, specious. But because of eurokids dramatic change, they occupied that area and made toy store room, one more class etc. So no place to play inside the school.
With so much dissatisfaction, I appreciate the School Co-Ordinator. Very approachable and hard working person, as far I observed. But after all, unless quality teachers are not there, very difficult to ack this branch.
My recommendation is "NO".
I changed his school, any thanks good, he is fine now.
