Answers to questions asked by Parents for PLAYGROUP, NURSERY, JUNIOR KG, SENIOR KG Admissions
What would be the fees of the preschool?
The fees of the preschool is mentioned on the website. Kindly refer to the website www.bodakdevschool.com/fees.
How do small children sit in virtual classes?
The duration of each class is not more than 40 minutes, and our teachers plan each lesson to make the class interesting and exciting for the child. Hence children love to attend our virtual classes. We also require some support from the parents in the beginning, and gradually the children get accustomed to attending our classes. Virtual parent-teacher meetings are held regularly so that parents can guide the toddlers for their sessions as well as for their home learning activities.
Is there any change in fee structure because of lockdown/pandemic or we have to pay as per website?
Currently, there is no change in the fee structure. But in future, if there would be any change, parents would be informed about it.
If we apply for next year admission, do the parents have to pay the full fees now?
No, fees are supposed to be paid in instalments. Parents have to pay the fees as per the instalments mentioned on https://bodakdevschool.com/fees.
Admissions are reserved by paying admissions fees and first quarter fees.
If the child is completing 3years or 4 years in June, the child may have to repeat the whole year?
There is no compromise on the age criteria set by the school; hence the child may have to repeat the whole year. This is in line with the Right to Education Act 2009. Children need to complete 5 years before going in to 1st standard – and hence the age criteria has been set accordingly.
What are the activities for Playgroup/Nursery/ JR K.G./ SR K.G. during the online session.
E-classes for toddlers of Playgroup, Nursery, Junior KG and Senior K.G. aim to support young children in achieving their physical, emotional and social developmental milestones through a perfect mix of live-offline, adult and child-led activities. E-learning is an amalgamation of live sessions, videos, written assignments, printable activity sheets and guided home learning projects. Each day pre-schoolers can experience e-learning that is based on critical areas of language and communication, mathematics, understanding the world through hands-on science and creativity based projects from the comfort of their homes.
Is there any way to engage children on weekends?
There are multiple ways to engage children on weekends. The school sends exciting videos and projects for the child to do at home. Parents can sit with the child and finish those projects. Apart from the material from the school, parents can try quilling, art and craft activities, clay modelling, pottery and painting on weekends. It is not necessary to keep the child busy every day. On weekends parents can also sit and play board games with kids that teach many essential life skills to young children.
How is an online curriculum different than a classroom?
There is hardly any difference in the curriculum taught online and offline. To ensure that we provide pre-schoolers a world-class learning experience when they are studying at home, we have moved to a hybrid learning model that includes a blend of both synchronous and asynchronous online learning. Children of Bodakdev school are given free unlimited access to Extra Marks learning tool that helps in holistic education through age-appropriate content. Teachers also share videos of important concepts with the toddlers that helps them to understand all the concepts of their curriculum. E-mail ids of teachers are given to parents and they can contact the teacher if the child doesn't understand any concept.
