The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one the period from birth to the age of six”, said Maria Montessori, the famous Italian physician and educator. This holds very much true given the scientific fact that around 700-1000 neural connections are formed each second in an infant’s brain and most of the fundamentals like the ability to speak, learn and reason develop during this period. As a result, today’s parents are very must conscious about their kids’ early childhood learning, thus increasing the demand for preschools and daycare facilities. As per a recent study by Research And Markets, the Indian preschools market is expected to grow by $957.86 million during 2022-26, growing at a CAGR of 9.57 percent during the forecast period.

While there are a multitude of preschools operating across India, not all of them understand the complexities involved in tending to diverse requirements of the young minds. Standing-out among the crowd through its high quality preschool services is Chennai based Kudos Play School. Founded in 2010 by Sindu Sreekumar, Kudos today operates in Chennai (Rajakilpakkam, Selaiyur, Santoshpuram, East Tambaram, Kandigai, and Perumbakkam), Trichy and Nagercoil and created a niche for itself in the Tamil Nadu state.

“As an educator with a passion for teaching, I have always been seeking creative ways to engage children in the learning process. At kudos play school, we believe that providing a positive and stimulating environment is more important than traditional teaching methods. Children are inherently creative and innovative, and it is important that we as adults do not interrupt their natural way of understanding the world around them. The

early years from birth to age six are crucial for establishing good habits and teaching life skills, rather than just focusing on learning letters and numbers”, says Sindu.

Following a cognitive & Montessori methodology based teaching process, Kudos enables its students to learn through exploring by offering an environment where they can freely converse, socialize, work and play with each other. Additionally, students are providing learning across maths, language, science, creative art, music, social skills, environ-mental awareness and dramatic play, thus ensuring the all-round development of each child.

“Our motto is ‘learn with fun and graduate with a smile’, and thus we believe that children should enjoy learning and develop a love of education. Our mission is to create a safe and respectful environment that is rich in learning opportunities and provide a strong foundation for children’s lifelong learning. Our program is designed to promote holistic growth in children, encouraging them to become unique, special individuals who are positive and confident. Thus, we envision enabling children reach their full potential by providing an appropriate learning environment”, adds Sindu.

What sets Kudos Play School apart from other schools in the industry is the TPD (Thought Process Development) education it follows. Through this, kids are given ample opportunities to solve problems, make decisions and create & evaluate new ideas of their own, thus imbibing strong independent thinking and problem solving skills among the children. Additionally, the school also involves children in extra curricular activities such as field trips, hands-on science experiments, music & art and drama, which help them think from different perspectives and understand how to interact with each other.

Currently, Kudos offers four programs – Buds-1 (Play School), Buds-2 (Pre-KG), Blooms (LKG) and Blossoms (UKG). Also being a socially responsible organization, the school offers free education to kids from weak financial background, along with discounts to children of armed forces personnel and even admits specially abled kids as well. Owing to such fine practice in place, Kudos is well on its way to make huge strides in the industry in the days to come.
