Early Childhood Education is the formal education that a child receives at a young age. The formal education that a child receives between the age of 2 and 8 years, varies from state to state and programme to programme.

People usually get confused between Playschool, Daycare, and Crèche. Very few people know that these three terms differ from each other when it comes to design, organisation, and management.

Playschool

The purpose of a playschool is to help the children become used to the idea of being away from home for a couple of hours a day. Parents who wish to enrol their child on a playschool must do thorough research. They must make sure that the playschool they choose is fulfilling the requirements i.e developing a child through numerous activities and not specifically with books. Playschools in India are also known as playgroups.

The objective of Kidzee's playgroup programme is to foster a child’s development. This can be done by learning and practicing child development through a scientific approach. Our well-trained teachers foster social, aesthetic, and motor skills in young children. 

Visit the nearest Kidzee, one of the best preschools in India, and ask for a brochure. You can always visit our preschool website or talk to our teachers in person regarding the methods used in class. Always remember that your child is more likely to set his/her foundations in a playschool. Hence, enroling them in one of the best preschool chains in India is the best way to initiate their learning journey through play.

Daycare is an institution that provides supervision to infants and young children during day time when their parents go to work. The importance of a daycare has increased in recent years owing to the rising proportion of parents joining the workforce to financially support their families. These days part time daycare also exists. It is referred to as drop-in daycares that look after your child for less than a full day or on a flexible schedule.

The primary objective of a Kidzee daycare is to provide the children – A Home Away From Home. The children spend almost 6-8 hours at our daycare. The loving and caring environment at our daycare centres fosters the following developmental areas:

• Cognitive Development

Crèche is a place where babies and young children are taken care of. In a crèche, caregiving services are provided to a child in the absence of their parents. The basic difference between crèche and daycare is that crèche is less structured than daycare. Usually, a daycare would run child support and developmental programmes for babies, infants, and toddlers of varying age ranges. But in the case of a crèche, they generally have fewer qualified staff than a daycare or a playgroup.

We understand that sending your child to a crèche can be heart-pounding for most parents, but it also has some benefits for the child in the long run. If the child receives encouragement and proper support at a crèche, it will set the groundwork for later. They even learn how to interact positively with other children and adults.
