Tips from Calcutta Public School to help parents in the process of selecting the right nursery school for your child:

This ensures that your child is exposed to the same learning environment during their primary, middle and secondary schooling so that they are completely in their comfort zone. Changing schools can be very difficult for children as they need to cope with a new environment and form new social bonds, so avoid standalone preschools and choose an established school.
