What you see - Lots of large-sized colored pencils - near the entrance, in the fencing and as safety gates in all the rooms.
Whiz Kids seems to believe in bright colors because that is what you see all around - in the merry-go-around, on the walls at the entrance or even in the painting of a tree that starts from the wall and goes up to the ceiling of this two-storied house.
What you get - Whiz Kids started in 2005 and is the brainchild of a software engineer who goes by the name of Vidushi.
"The job of a software engineer got boring and being with kids was something that I always enjoyed.
So that's how I started Whiz Kids," she says.
Vidushi has an international diploma in Montessori training.
The school provides education for play group and nursery and is upgrading to the kindergarten level too.
At present, they have about 30 kids, three teachers and two assistants.
Kids below two years of age can join pre-nursery here and those above two-and-a-half years of age can move to nursery.
The fees for both range from Rs.
2,800-3,500 for a three-month term.
Admissions are on first-come-first-served basis.
There is a monthly time table for kids which includes Color Day, Vegetable Day, Music Day etc.
So activities revolve around such themes.
On Vegetable Day, for instance, kids learn how to identify veggies by painting with okra or through the conventional trays and blocks method.
The school also has an assessment methodology called MAID (Measure, Analyze, Identify, Develop) where kids' performance is analyzed across various parameters that range from identification of alphabets to tying of shoe laces.
The analysis is not competitive and is compared with a child's performance over the previous term only, adds Vidushi.
In terms of food, a child has to bring his/her food to the school.
Milk is provided though.
Transport facility is also available.
Whiz Kids even runs a day care center till about 7 PM.
You could avail their services even on Sundays.
Charges are Rs.
800-1,000 per month.
They even have an activity center where they teach freestyle dance, chess, keyboard and guitar over the weekends.
Kids from 5-12 years of age can go for these hour-long classes with the fees being around Rs.
500 per month for two days a week.
Our verdict - The look and feel of Whiz Kids is bright and chirpy.
We were impressed with their range of learning toys that even includes a shirt-shaped board to help kids learn buttoning themselves up and a pair of footwear to help them learn tying up their shoelaces.
The fact-sheet that we saw with respect to their assessment also went on to prove that they focus on all-round development.
The only constraint is likely to be in terms of space when they upgrade to kindergarten levels.
The school is located in a residential area so parking is not an issue.
