About Kinderland
Early years of learning provides a foundation for later development. Children in their early years explore the environment and make meaningful associations while learning. The process of learning thus needs to be at pace suitable while celebrating each child’s uniqueness.
Kinderland’s philosophy is that every child has a right to learn. Every child is gifted and has his own strengths and weakness. Early years should focus on using their strength while addressing their weakness in an environment that helps learning of life skills.

What Parents Say
My 4 year old daughter joined the summer camp at kinderland and she enjoyed it a lot and was very happy to go to the camp. Activities are very nice and the timing is also adequate. Only drawback is the duration, it was only for 21 days , wish it was for 2 months . Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for summer camp or day care or kindergarten classes
Parent of Sanvika
Evaan has been going to Kinderland for only 4 months but I have seen a lot of improvement in his speech, social skills, waiting tolerance. He loves going to school that definitely shows that he leaning and havin fun at the same time! In these two months I have had a chance to talk to the teachers, therapist and coordinators who are understanding of his needs and genuinely interested in helping him grow up into an independent individual!
Parent of Evaan
It was a shock to be referred to Kinderland. The school has helped us all as parents to accept neurodiversity as challenging and our children as our children whom we will adore more and more as they become who they truly are. They have their own SLPs whom they rush to greet now. They have improved greatly in the few months they have been at the school. Though it is possible at the end of the three year programme that they will not show any of the symptoms of neurodiversity. The school by integrating neurotypicality and neurodiversity is itself a necessary bridge to understanding acceptance and love of all our humanity in all its forms. We would have been lost without Kinderland.

The decision to move back for a bit has been a hard one especially to get my husband on board..but the positive changes we've seen in Reyan after being around family members and a happier mum are evident to everyone including his ABA tutors here who are pleasantly surprised to see Reyan's improvement..but a lot of it also has to do with how well everyone at kinderland treated him and the connection and understanding of him and his mother displayed by one and all..I just want that kind of hope and positivity in my life moving forward..just wanted to let you know that I have huge respect for what you all do..you're changing lives and futures..more power to you..
Parent of Reyan
Both our children studied in Kinderland. The heart of the school lies in the hands of the extremely loving, nurturing and patient teachers. Children are exposed to sports, art and academics. The curriculum and the teaching methodology is on par with education standards. The school equips children with the confidence and knowledge that is required to further their studies. We are extremely happy with the foundation that our children received at Kinderland.

Parent of Sarthak Patil
Kinderland School not only focuses on improving my kids areas of need but also really puts a huge emphasis on bolstering their individual strengths. My children have grown in a way that they never would have at another school due to this excellent individualized and warm environment. The teachers are highly educated, thoughtful, and nurturing. They provide rigorous academic challenges, as well as the tools and strategies needed to meet those challenges. I am so pleased.” Thank you so much for all that you all have done for Aayezah and Aairah mam. Kinderland can never be forgotten.
Parent of Aayezah, Aairah
We had twins and my experience with Kinderland was simply fabulous. There are lot of positive things about Kinderland like staff behaviour, kids curriculum, cleanliness, various activities etc. Most importantly Asha Mam’s and Usha Mam’s passion towards grooming kids is the most impressive part. Thank u for your support
