I admitted my kid to preschool at Kangaroo Kids Bangalore in June 2007. They intially said that they would keep the child for 1/2 hour and gradually increase to 2 hours. Its been 3 weeks and they still have not managed to keep the child for 2 hours. Since I wait outside, they conveniently say the child is restless and send the kid outside in 1 - 1.5 hours. The fee is exorbitant (rs.28000 for 2 hours for 6months). In addition uniforms have to be purchased. Uniforms for a 2 year old is ridiculous!! Its just another way to make money. They don't provide any snacks or eats unlike other preschools.
The sand pit is never cleaned and I saw broken toys and other stuff(which may injure the child) lying around.
The ratio of child: teacher is very low and they are always short staffed.
They have old dog-eared books in their library and the teacher allots one book every week which has to be returned the next week.
I also heard that they include your child in the entertainment programs and charge a ridiculous Rs250 per head to watch these programs.
I would never ever recommend this place to anybody ever.
