Parents' Speak

Dear Ms Ganguly

Greetings.

It was a pleasure for Kavita and I to interact with all of you on Monday during the PTM.

Like always, we would firstly like to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to the entire teaching staff of PEY for the incredible effort that you all put in to make the kind of difference you make to these children's lives.

Like always, we were amazed to see the contents of the 'Learning Journey' report. While Agastya surprises us with his antics almost on a daily basis, these reports just capture and communicate the method behind the flurry of activity that goes on with his classes. While pandemic became a pain for us in more ways than one, one of the biggest positives has been the opportunity to witness these kids in classroom mode. At least for our child, we can say with confidence, that he is a different character in front of his teachers. He is at his best behaviour when he is in his 'class'. These Zoom sessions have allowed us a peek in his own 'professional' world and we totally love what we see! I must add here that this has been a nice refresher course for us parents too. Most of all, we are enjoying revisiting our Hindi lessons and are able to flaunt our renewed grasp of the 'varn-mala'.

As we mentioned during our interaction, we can't help but admire the flexibility, openness and adaptability that these little children have shown while coping with the nuances of this 'virtual' classroom. These little fellows deserve thunderous applause for blending so seamlessly with this onslaught of technology. We spent so much energy in pre-covid world to control their screen time, And now, it's a mandatory 3 hours that we actually look forward to. We miss it on weekends honestly.

We thank you genuinely for all that you do for Agastya and his friends in the class. We can't even imagine the amount of effort you all must be putting in to ensure that the curriculum remains on track. Kudos to you all! We are your biggest fans...

How we wish there was a grade 1 at Pathways Early Years, GCR!

Thank you and God Bless you all.

Best regards,
Kavita & Abhishek Sahai

Dear Shruti Ma'am

It's been a long while that I have been thinking of writing this email.

Anvika had a fabulous year in Toddler program last year and I must say you had a big role to play in that. The settling in process was a breeze as she looked forward to being in school with Shruti Madam and her friends.

There is no holiday or family function that you have not been mentioned. Everyone in our family knows you as you are always part of her school stories. And also because she still talks about you ,like you and now even imitates your mannerisms.

Her fondness for you is due to the love, care and affection you have showered on Anvika while making her learn and grow!

She misses you and wonders and asks as to why Shruti Madam just said Hi and is not in class like Esha Ma'am with me.

It is her first progression in life, and she will learn to accept changes slowly.

We as parents are grateful for all your efforts in making her a more confident and expressive child.

She was and is blessed to have you as one of her first teachers.

Warm Regards
Ananta Baheti

Respected Shafaq Ma’am

As we have reached to the last day of Anvi’s wonderful journey at Pathways Early years GK, we feel extremely thankful and grateful to you and all the teacher (specially her toddler group teacher Shruti and her pre nursery teachers Ramita and Kiran and Pooja Didi) and support staff for being part of our daughter’s learning and growth. We are very confident that under the guidance of all of you, Anvi has built a strong foundation as she takes her next steps in her journey from here.

We also feel emotional at the same time as Pathways has become like extended family to Anvi and us. We will cherish all the memories for the rest of her lives. We also believe that Anvi has made a special bond with you all as well as made great friends.

As the name of the school is "Pathways", we believe and hope that our "paths" will cross in the future as well.

Thanks so so much for all the love and guidance to our daughter and immensely appreciate all your efforts and time given to our daughter.

All of us and most importantly Anvi will miss Pathways. Wish you all the very best for the future as well.

Warm Regards
Anisha & Varun Bhasin

Dear Madam Nisha

My wife and I would like to thank you for the visible effort you have put in for Ruhani's shyness. We happen to stumble upon the "Graduation Day" video on your Facebook page, where Ruhani is willingly and visibly, happily dancing.

As was mentioned by you during the parent-teacher meeting also that you take care and put in an extra effort for the same, it was clearly evident in the video. From her reluctance to dance, to happily dancing. We are very glad and thank you whole-heartedly.

In addition, I would like to mention that Ruhani has been most comfortable under your able guidance and thus she's, perhaps more able at things like dancing.

Moreover, though my wife and I, we both are also careful at teaching sharing and positive attitude, as that is how we want her to be we were surprised to hear when we said: “Ruhani is dancing the best.” And she retorted, “All the babies are dancing the best."

It just shows the entire ambience at the school and the set of positive learning kids are imparted. We thank the Madam Principal for the eminently positive environment created at the school.

Thanking you magnanimously

Dear Ms. Shafaq Bhat

I would like to begin by thanking you and the entire team of pathways for your relentless effort and hard work along with the immense love and support that you have shown towards all the children who are a part of the school. Triaksh's love for all the teachers, didis, other staff members and his school tells us a lot about his journey at here.

I would like to extend my gratitude for the care he has been provided with, good values that have been instilled in him and the abundance of knowledge he has gained during his period here. I am sure his learnings at his early stages will take him a long way.

Thank you
Regards

Respected EY Team

It is a great effort put by you on our child , she stands out among the lot of her age.

Myra is doing good & started with sentences knowing past tense & present tense & can explain what is she feeling (Eating, sleepy, Happy etc.) in her own ways.

We are looking forward for her development & her Knowledge. We are also giving our best with interacting with her.

As a teacher handling kids needs a lot of patience so hats off to the team of Pathways Early Years.

The annual day was wonderful very well organized & thanks for a lovely treat , we enjoyed a lot watching kids performing & stage fear not being present in them was great to see.

I really appreciate as Myra talks about Esha Mam & Shruti Mam, you have done your best for upbringing of our kid.

Warm Regards

Dear EY Team

I write this mail to you as a note of appreciation for the wonderful show put up by the little kiddos of PN 2 at the annual event.

It was a pleasure to see the mesmirising performance and I am sure, it was made possible only with the meticulous planning, hard work and dedication of all the teachers.

A special thanks to you and Sania mam for training and grooming Pehr so well. And also, for entrusting her with such a vital role in the show.

We were overwhelmed to see her perform with such excitement and fervour on stage.

I would like to extend my warm regards for the same.

Thanks,

Dear EY Team

We take pleasure in writing this email to you, with immense gratitude for each one of you at Pathways Early Years. We feel it would be an honour and good fortune for us and our child to continue with Pathways Education at NOIDA.

We feel great when we think about the effort that the teachers had put in, in each child, to elicit the performances from them at such tender ages.

We thank you for your much valuable effort, that our child is going to keep with her, from now until throughout.

Much gratitude and regards

Dear EY Team

Thank you teachers. With your reputation with parents of existing day care students, we felt very comfortable sending Mannat to day care. It was very comforting to know that you all are so cooperative and specially with the incidents with Mannat initially. You make lives of working parents much more easy. Many thanks once again’

Best,
Daman (mother of Mannat Kaur)

Dear EY Team

Our experience with Pathways so far has been wonderful. Swati from your team at Kailash colony has guided us smoothly through the admission process and has clarified our concerns and queries .

Principal ma'am has been very patient and has briefed us thoroughly about the program and facilities at Pathways.

We are impressed with the security measures implemented at Pathways and are satisfied with the safety of our toddler .

Our interaction with the teacher has only been once as we have just enrolled our toddler for the program and we are happy with the warm atmosphere our child is receiving at pathways.

Dear Mansi

I can see that Yash is enjoying himself a lot. In fact, he has been playing a lot with all the vehicle toys at home. Keeping the theme in mind we bought him a parking garage at home and he loves playing with it. He recognises Bus, Auto, Car and Truck. He sleeps with his Bus and Trucks...now I know where all that fondness is coming from.

Thanks to you, Neha and the entire team for making these kids learn so much and at the same time have fun.

Regards,
Ruchika

Hello Ms Shafaq

Hope all is well at your end.

I have been meaning to write this email for a long time but relocating and settling down has taken up all my time. But better late than never.

I just wanted to send an appreciation email to you and your team for what a wonderful job you are doing at Pathways Early Year’s Greater Kailash. Other than the obvious things like a very loving and caring environment for kids the little things you guys do makes a huge difference. To name a few - kids brushing their teeth after snacks/lunch, the fact that your landline gets transferred to you and almost never goes unanswered, your patiently answering all our concerned calls about what our child is doing during the initial settling in times, the extremely clean loos and the lovely Didi’s who help the teachers.

These are small things which mostly go unnoticed by parents but make a huge difference to the overall experience with the school. I must have visited umpteen schools in my hunt for a new school for Aanya in our new city. But not one had children brushing their teeth after a meal. Not one had loos as clean as the ones in Pathways GK. And this is even for schools having a fee structure double that of Pathways. So I must say after moving out of Delhi I have started appreciating Pathways even more.

Keep up the great work. We will always have very fond memories of Aanya’s first school.

Regards
Bhavita
Aanya Arora’s Mom

P.S Aanya really misses her Ramita mam, Kiran mam and Pooja Didi. They must be doing something right for kids to miss them so much.

Dear EY Team

It makes me extremely happy to see the learning provided by you at school being imbibed in real life. While using her free style paint brush Ruhani thought of saffron white green blue wheel and what she drew is attached here with.

Dear EY Team

It's been a year since Vedant joined Pathways and words can't express enough how glad we are that we took that decision.

Through this year, Vedant has grown to become all the more independent, loving, caring, responsible and self-regulated- all thanks to your efforts. You have been by his side through all his ups and downs (we know there have been far too many :-)) and seen him through it all. From a time when he used to cry at school for days together, he's now at a point where his school has truly become his second home and he doesn't want to leave from school! No amount of words can express our gratitude to you for transforming Vedant this way. Every now and then he surprises us with his knowledge, intelligence, maturity and independence- and it only reinforces to us the key role you have played in his growth.

We don't have everyone's email ID, but please convey our regards to everyone who's been a part of Vedant's first school year- Sneh Ma'am, Manjeera Ma'am, all didis, support staff and all of you of course!
Lastly, thank you for making Vedant's birthday special. He wouldn't have shared it with anyone else :-).

Urmi & Akshay

Dear Ankita Ma’am

Many thanks to you Ma’am for shaping up Noumi, giving her love and care, for counselling her, for all your patience, for being her first teacher- her Ankita Ma’am and helping her making a better person with each passing day. We are so relaxed that you are there to mentor her. And at the same time feel low thinking you will not be there with her in the next class. It is so good to see our child growing with you holding her hands. We as her parents, cannot thank you enough. May God bless you in abundance. Thank you for always being there for Noumi.

Dear Yukti Ma’am

Thank you so much for such a wonderful year. Samaira will really miss you. Your patience, kindness and understanding have helped her grow in every possible manner. I am so grateful for everything you have done for her.

Thank you for the report that you have shared with us. You have wonderfully compiled it and it shows your close observation of every child. It was very heartwarming to read such words about Samaira.

Additionally, your constant support when it came to her medicines has been invaluable. We will always remember your contribution to her development. Many thanks, Ma’am. We will miss you :)

Dear Nitu Ma’am

I learned last night while going through Ms. Nitu’s email “Final Term Learning Journey” that our little Prajyati has completed her first-ever academic session. I realized many times due to our day-to-day engagements; we often forget to tell you all how much we appreciate the hard work of our child’s real heroes. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude toward the School, Teachers, and Support Staff for the overall holistic development of Prajyati.

Teacher Ms. Nitu – Thank you so much for blooming Prajyati under your guidance. I can see many positive changes in her whether it is Knowledge, Action, or Attitude. You never forget to inform us about her weekly learning outcomes and to share her beautiful photos. You have mentioned many things about Prajyati in your note, but it is your constant support, love, and patience that shaped her into a better person. Your teaching style engages her and pumped up her about new learnings. It's wonderful to see her come home in a very happy mood and share her reflection on various things she is learning in school e.g., social skills, language skills, etc. at such a tender age. She loves you even in her sleep and calls you Nitu Ma’am, Nitu Ma’am.

Daycare Teacher-Ms. Kinder – Thank you so much for being friendly, kind, caring, and patient with Prajyati. We appreciate your effort when it comes to consoling, comforting, and feeding. I cannot thank you enough for always encouraging her for learning new things and feel happy. You will be always her lovingly Kin Ma’am.

Nurse-Ms. Veronica –Thank you for protecting and constantly checking Prajyati’s health and enhancing her learning environment. Also, thank you for pampering her so much.

Support Staffs: – All the support staffs including guards are very welcoming. I am grateful for the hard work they put in towards taking care of Prajyati. I know how much extra time and effort are involved in various activities and the clean-up after that. Thank you for everything, I don’t know what one would do without you all.

Cesta – Thank you for providing the sumptuous meals each day. It has developed her tastebuds and liking towards various food.

Nonetheless, I want to express my sincere appreciation to the leader of the boat for being an excellent School Principal-Ms. Rachna Trehan. Thank you for making early childhood education fun and children’s safety your primary focus. I must mention the off-the-limit support you had provided us during Prajyati had a fracture. I will never forget it. Prajyati loves school and it’s easy to see why.

Dear Ms. Shivani Sud and Shivangi Ma’am

As a parent, I feel so happy to see my child Viom singing prayers and thanking God for the food. It reminds me of the importance of gratitude to the universe. Thank you for this. What Viom learns at school makes us, as parents, better versions of ourselves too

Viom Dhawan (Parents - Nayna Dhawan – Pre Nursery)

Dear Nitu Ma’am

I write to you with a happy heart to see that Shruti is doing well in this term in KG. As you know that she was lagging much behind and that got me really worried as a parent. Yes, she was just in Nursery and a small kid but my concern was never about she knowing it all, but that her concepts were not clear. She mostly had no clue.

Thank you for listening to me from the start and for understanding my point of view, also letting me know Honestly where she was. I do see a big shift in her after summer vacations. As class 1 would be a big change for her since it would be a proper school, my worries are now being sorted. However like I mentioned above I would always want her concepts with every subject to be clear since she is in IB otherwise we as parents putting her here would be in total vain.

Thank you for your support. Wish you all the best.

Shruti Ghosh (Parents - Runa Mitra Ghosh – KG)

Dear Ridhima Ma'am and Bhavana Ma'am

I just wish to thank you both for taking such good care of Pragyan throughout the year. I have seen tremendous growth in his performance over the year. He has become a confident speaker, his writing and drawing skills have also improved significantly. I am most impressed by his stage presence and the initiative to perform. This is all due to your hard work and personal attention towards him. While talking to you both I always got the sense that you paid a lot of attention to his actions and that's why you could communicate very specifically about him rather than a general manner. You provided him a nurturing environment so he could blossom well. I was at ease because of your gentle approach.

You have set the bar very high for all his future educators. I am really glad that we got you as his educators.

Pragyan Sharma (Parents - Joohi – Nursery)

Dear Marina and Laxmi Ma’am

Thank you so much Ma’am, as I have seen that she is very excited to go to school every day and comes home happy. Thank you for all your effort and settling her so well! Hats off to you both for showing immense patience 😀. We are genuinely impressed by the patience and dedication both of you have shown in helping Siya settle in. Your commitment to her growth and well-being is evident, and we are incredibly grateful for it.

As parents, seeing Siya's progress and the joy she finds in her school experience fills us with happiness.

Siya Sachdeva (Parents - Hitesh Sachdeva – Pre Toddler)

Dear Nidhi Ma’am

Our experience with Pathways Holding Hands program has been wonderful. Thanks to the incredible Nidhi Ma'am. From day one, she has expertly guided us through the settling-in process, turning what could have been a daunting experience into a positive transition. Her warmth and genuine care immediately put us at ease.

What sets Nidhi Ma'am apart is her remarkable patience. She not only understood our child's unique needs but embraced them wholeheartedly. Her unwavering support and willingness to adapt to our child's pace were truly commendable. She consistently spared time to review our child's progress and offered encouraging feedback. Her advice on after-school activities and skill development has been invaluable, helping us nurture our child's growth and curiosity.

In addition to her, the entire staff, including the assistant teachers, demonstrated unwavering dedication and hard work. Each child receives personalised attention, fostering a nurturing environment where kids thrive.

The Principal and admissions officer have also left a lasting impression. Their hands-on and accommodating approach underscores the school's commitment to excellence.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have her enrolled our child to Pathways under Nidhi Ma'am's care. We wholeheartedly recommend this to any parent seeking a nurturing, supportive, and exceptional educational experience for their child.
