For Nursery, LKG and UKG, the daily experience matters more than an early-academics pitch. Look for:

  • Teacher-to-child ratio in the actual classroom (ask to see it, not just the policy)
  • How separation anxiety and settling-in are handled in the first weeks
  • Balance between free play, structured activity and rest
  • Outdoor space and how often it is actually used
  • How the school communicates daily updates to parents

A preschool that focuses on worksheets over play at this age is optimising for the wrong outcome.
