How to choose a preschool in Whitefield
Use these checks when you visit and compare the preschools above.
Visit during school hours
See classrooms in action. Notice how teachers speak to children and whether the children seem engaged, calm and comfortable.
Understand the learning approach
Ask how the day is structured and how the programme balances play, language, early numbers, movement and social skills.
Check safety and hygiene
Look at entry and exit controls, child-safe furniture, clean washrooms and how children are handed over to parents at pick-up.
Ask about teachers and ratios
Ask about teacher training, staff turnover, and the number of children per teacher and caregiver in each class.
Look at fees and what they include
Get a written fee structure and check what is included — meals, materials, transport, day care and activities — and the refund policy.
Consider timings and distance
For young children, a short, safe commute and timings that match your work schedule make daily life much easier.
Ask how they communicate with parents
Find out how the school shares updates — daily notes, an app or parent meetings — and how quickly concerns are addressed.
