Writing a BIG THANK YOU note to Klay Sohna Road for being an integral part of helping me raise my daughter. I look back to the days when right after my maternity, I had quit working (until she turned one) after being a through professional/career woman for almost 9 years which was a decision I took thinking no one could be better than me, myself for my baby! But soon after that we came across Klay and found that there can be a way back to my career and there are people who can take good care of my kid just like I would do. When we did the school tour for the first time, a cleanliness freak mother like me and a super possessive father like my husband saw the way kids were looked after was phenomenal. The staff starting from the nannies to the teachers are heart-warming, caring, fun-loving and empathic towards the kids but at the same time they help them have a set routine and discipline too. She even revealed few of her big milestones for the first time like crawling, walking, exploring new taste buds (eating banana, grapes, idli, roti etc…) saying those special few words which were always captured in videos/pictures and sent/told to me by the staff. Isn’t it wonderful! :)
Today is her last day at Klay as she will soon start her Big School (as my daughter calls it :) ) journey with fond memories of fulfilled days spent there. We as parents have a heavy heart and are hoping she settles well in the new environment which we know won’t be as warm as the environment at Klay.
Thank you to all the wonderful nannies and patient teachers who were bearing with us through this journey of 2.5 years and made it so smooth and easy for us.
Special thanks to Prasanna Mam, Rita Mam, Jyoti Mam and Khem Mam of course.
You guys rock!
With respect and...
Read moreA year ago, as working parents, we made the decision to enroll our twins at a day care. While the search to find the center was daunting, once we walked through the gates of Klay @ Malibu Towne we knew our search had ended. After a quick interaction with the faculty at this centre we quickly understood that the School space is designed to create a secure yet happy environment that encourages the child to imagine, explore, learn and interact. More importantly, at this stage of learning, a child has a nascent yet curious mind and is trying to understand the world around him/her. Hence, the most pivotal role is played by the Teacher in ensuring that the learning process is smooth and seamless. In this regard, their class teacher, Navya needs to be given full credit. With the use of appropriate learning contexts, inquiry tools and employing a gamut of assessment techniques –she enables her students to become independent thinkers and open minded learners. I have noticed that under her tutelage, my twins have found their own voices, explored their own personality and nurtured their own curiosity. By creating an environment that is conducive to asking questions, pursuing investigations and integrating their own experiences with the knowledge that is being delivered is at the center of Navya’s approach to teaching. Apart from this, the unparalleled support of the non-teaching has also been central in ensuring an ecosystem that makes Klay a ‘Happy Place...
Read moreAs a working mother I was little concerned of my child well being while I was working. That’s when One of my friend recommended me to opted for kare@home program. The Klay team sent Poonam didi to take care of my Son Vikrant while he was just 14 months. Within 2-3 days Poonam didi was able to manage my son’s demanding behaviour and started channelizing his energies in meaningful games like play dough, sketching, watering plants, dancing etc. Within a month I could see a visible difference in my son as started speaking in small sentences. His vocabulary was getting enhanced as Poonam didi started introducing him to new words each day. She even taught him dance on “wheels on the bus” and he dances whenever he hears this now. Vikrant is almost 2 years old and so much in love with didi that he misses her whenever she isn’t around. Poonam didi is extremely positive, warm and calm person. She never yells at my son Infact she explains and gives him logic if he is not listening to her. She has a great bond with my son. I call her Caregiver Warrier as she leaves behind her family and comes to take care of my son and helping me in having a career during these unprecedented times. As I working mother I was always concerned of my child’s progress but with klay homecare program I felt at ease and feel safe. Kudos to the team’s out of the box thinking of having Homecare program as it was big help for working professionals! Thank you and...
