I will not recommand Pupil tree to anybody for following reasons:
1. Nothing good about teaching methodology , its all same like any other very-2 normal play-school.
2. fees is too high and doesn't justify in any way

I too agree with u initial promises made by them were to many . but once admission is done they dont care at all and avove all the fee structure is too high. it is as ordinary as other school nothing special about it . waste of money
I am a parent whose child has gone to The Pupil Tree last year.
My experience says its a very bad school. I even heard they give sub-standard food to the day care children. Its nothing what they promise when you take admission.
Its outrageously high fees for a average facility. The teachers disappear suddenly. I guess I agree the problem seems from the HQ. I would never recommend anyone to enroll their kids here. Its a wrong place to put your child either for schooling or day care.
My kid goes to one of its branch in B'lore. Though I don't have any -ve to talk about this school but certainly its not any better than kid-zee, euro kids etc. apart from li'l better building/infrastructure. Their fees is almost double in comparision to kid-zee , not only that they charge just double for transportation ( 2K per month where as in other school its almost 800 to 1k per Month).
I am certainly not able to justify their higher fees as the school is not at all comparable to Neev and I didn't find any better than euro-kids and kid-zee where some of my friends and neighboring kids are going and teaching pattern is almost same.
I don’t know what ur problem is. If u know for a fact that Neev is better, then why don’t u put ur kid in that school? U accept that Pupil Tree infrastructure is much better than in other schools. Is it unreasonable for the school to charge higher fees if it’s providing better facilities?
Hi , I did not reply to your prev. mail properly since I was afraid that whatever I write on this website due to its public visibility might give an idea to the centre people and may impact my kid.
I “did not” put my kid in Neev as they don't provide transportation and I strongly regret my this decision of choosing Pupil Tree, especially when teaching small kids is more about experience then about glitz in infrastructure. I am sure Kidzee or EuroKids could have been far better than this school.
I am raising some more points for the benefit of people who intend to put their kids there:
1. My son got hurt twice (had bleeding from lips and chin) and he came home without first aid. Next day when I asked teacher there, no body had any clue, infact they mentioned, after school , these kids play unattened in sand pool n might have got hurt ( here “nobody” includes - center head, teacher(s), aaya n all helpers). They didn't take any responsibility and there was no regret and sorry from their side.
2. Initially, some months they issued books ( from library) for home but later discontinued.
3. Their cultural event/sports days events can be easily over shadowed by the usual birthday party events of kids. Not even for once I got to see my kid performing some group activity on the stage. Some rhyme recitation or songs or some dance. Graduation day celebration was almost null, infact not even a "Graduation Hat " . A friend of mine whose kid is going to Euro kids mentioned events likes stage show, dance show etc. ( at a hired place), I am sure most of the parents are eager to see their kids on stage, but Pupil tree spoiled it .
5. There teachers started disappearing suddenly without proper replacements. Currently they are running into severe staff problem, recently their Center Head, Admin+Teacher and even Aaya left them. Not sure whether they were fired or resigned but HQ should have provide a backup first and then released them. Due to this recently one day there was nobody in Van to drop the kids + all the kids were with just one teacher in class.
I am writing all of this so that these people ( specially HQ) take proper actions to survive in this competitive market
.
I am also writing for parents who are planning to put their kids there as its not practical for parents to take out their kids from mid-session as these small kids takes 2-3 months to adjust and nobody will take a pain to enroll in another school and let the child face the same adjusment issue.
I personally believe its more of a HQ issue rather than center specific, as as a company they should provide good and reasonable transport, experienced teachers and proper management where there are less chances of loopwholes.
I as a parent would like to make sure to teach proper lesson to these money-minded people who think that IT people don’t have time to take care of kids and go purely on the glitz of the show rather than the content.
Moreover can u expect a 2 +/- some months child sitting in the cab without any seat belt and only one attendant handling them all. Can't we even expect at leaset safety and security for our child even after paying double transport fees ?
First time when u r looking for play school for kid, u go by infrastructure and center head words. I did mention that I don't have any -ve to talk about but just double fees is what I am not able to justify.
Apart from that Can u justify the double transportation for similar kind of Van( they r not providing a/c van) ? which itself reveals they chagre double for everything. Its their first batch so obviously I didn't had any review on school but during our first talk with them when center head kind of compairing it with Neev , I expected to get the almost equal or may be 25% less standard than Neev.
You tend to think that its a new school and obviously they would charge less and might provide better service.
BTW, its not unreasibale for school to charge more if they are really outstanding like Neev but not double the fees from other school if there is just 19-20 kind of difference.
Listen, it's not like my children go to Neev or Pupil Tree or any other day care centre. It's just that I read ur post and found it a bit illogical that u think another school is better but u haven't put ur kid there. as parents we only want what's best for our kids. If u think Pupil Tree's not fair with fees etc, then I strongly suggest u change schools immediately.
I can understand if the school is charging more for the infrastructure. But why charge double for transportation? That does not make much sense.
