Why mummy and papa in Nerul choose us

Every parent walks in with worries. Here they are, and here are my honest answers. Tap a cloud and watch it turn sunny.

Chapter 2

Meet Rajashree, who started it all

Most parents in Nerul hear her name before they hear ours. This is her story, in a few lines.

Before Dream World, Rajashree was a teacher in Nerul, and a well-loved one. Parents trusted her with their children before they trusted any school.

Those parents kept saying the same thing: start your own school, we will come. In 2016 she did, in a small lane in Sector 10, and the first families to join were the ones who had encouraged her.

Today The Dream World Pre-School has two branches in Nerul, and she still meets every new family herself.

Open the workbook and try a page

These are small games from our classroom. Tap, drag, trace and listen.

  • Tap a letter and hear it

    Tap any letter to begin.
    Blend a word:

    On the board above tap f, then i, then s, then h

    = ?

    Sound needs a browser that supports speech.

    In Nursery we teach the sound of each letter first. Then children join the sounds and read a whole word on their own.

  • Put each shape in the right hole

    Drag each shape to the hole of the same shape. With a keyboard, press Enter on a shape to pick it up, use the arrow keys to choose a hole, and press Enter again to put it in.

    0 of 3 shapes are in

    In class children do this with wooden shapes. It makes the hand and the eye work together. This is needed before a child can hold a pencil.

  • Mix two colours

    Tap two colours to mix them.

    At the painting table children mix two colours and see a new colour. They learn the colour name in English, Hindi and Marathi.

  • Can you put 7 mangoes in the basket?

    0

    zero

    Good. 7 more to go.

    In class we count real things, like mangoes, blocks and buttons. Then a number is not only a shape on paper. The child understands what 7 means.

Chapter 6

Six crayons in every child's box

We teach six things every day. Everything else is built on these.

  • Language and phonics

    Letter sounds, rhymes, puppets and story time in English. Hindi and Marathi songs too.

  • Numbers and thinking

    Counting real things like mangoes, blocks and friends. Shapes, sizes and sorting with hands first.

  • Fine and gross motor skills

    Pouring, threading and tracing for small fingers. Running, hoops and yoga for the whole body.

  • Feelings and friendships

    Saying how they feel, waiting for a turn, sharing and saying sorry. Your child becomes confident and kind.

  • Art, music and movement

    Painting, craft, dance, fancy dress and acting. Every child takes part on sports day and in every festival.

  • The world around us

    Festivals of all religions, field trips, seasons, plants and animals.

Chapter 7

Pictures drying on the line

Sports day, festivals, craft, the ball pit trip and normal class days. This is how your child's week will look.

My Aaru was in another play school earlier na... but after shifting to The Dream World Preschool, the difference is night and day. She was so fussy about food, now eats her full dabba happily!! Teechers are sooooo good, they notice everything about each child. Her confidence is definitly improved. Very happy with the enviroment & how much she's learning so fast. reccomend.
