Little Laureates is the best play school in Kolkata, West Bengal. It is a preschool brand of Nalanda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. (NLS). It was our love for the little ones that led us to establish Little Laureates in 2012. Before starting out with our first school in Rishra, West Bengal, we carried out an extensive research on the subject. We found that conventional teaching techniques were still the order of the day here, while the world around was changing drastically. We decided to change the game and brought modernity to preschool education.
We framed our curriculum based around our motto of 'Play, Learn, Grow'. We believe that little minds learn better in a playful atmosphere and in the process grow up. Thus our curriculum has the right mix of international methods like Montessori preschool and Kindergarten school in Kolkata, West Bengal with lots of play and fun time. But what makes it truly modern is the addition of digital smart classes into it. Each of our schools has special digital classes where the children interact with digital study materials and learn in a more engaging manner. This helps them get accustomed to the digital world at such an early age that they grow up digitally smart. This is how we have made our name as the best play school in Kolkata, West Bengal
Our responsibility doesn't end there, we make sure that both your kid and you are ready for the big day of admission into a big school at the next level. We also organise special sessions and seminars for the parents, where they are educated on good parenting skills. In fact, you will find in us an extended family and your child will love Little Laureates as home. This love is what has made us grow leaps and bounds in the last five year from 1 to 100 schools across eastern India.
You will be easily able to find Little Laureates as best play school in Kolkata, West Bengal in Salt Lake area. At present, other branches of Little Laureates School are located in Siliguri, Darjeeling,Jalpaiguri, Burdwan, Howrah, Hooghly, Nadia, Midnapur, North 24-Parganas, South 24-Parganas, Murshidabad,Nadia, Coochbehar, Bankura, Birbhum and more parts of West Bengal. We also have one of our branch in Agartala, Tripura.
To nurture young minds by providing ample opportunities to play learn and grow in a dynamic, challenging and culturally sound environment. We impart holistic education and firmly believe that each child is unique and learns differently.
To build an education model, as one of the best play school in Kolkata West Bengal, which will make quality education accessible to all from the grass root level to the topmost sections of the society.
