Mother's Pride Sector 61 NOIDA
Marketing Mania Kills Development

If you are a parent and want to put your child in Mother's Pride Sector 61 NOIDA, then read this...

Subject: Marketing Mania among teachers and staff kills child development, breeds negative attitude.

As any parent looking for the best opportunity for his/her kid, I had got my son into the Sector 61 Noida branch of Mother's Pride. At the time of admissions, I and my wife, had chosen this branch because of the following reasons:

1. Proximity - Since we live in Sec 61, this was the best alternative. Though we felt the pinch when we had to cough up 4500 bucks per quarter for transportation for travelling less than 200m, we felt okay.

2. Preparation for formal schools - Mother's Pride promised us that our kid would be suitably prepared for interviews for formal schools, so we thought this would be a good place for our kid to learn and develop.

We took admission in April. However, in a few months time, the school started marketing its Presidium School (both Mothers Pride and Presidium School are owned by same group). We started getting calls from the staff asking us to consider Presidum for Nursery classes.By July/Aug the marketing became more aggressive. We used to get calls almost everyday.

Once, they announced that there is a last date by which we must pay INR 10k to book a seat in Presidium. Since no school had started admissions, we thought it OK to pay 10k and secure a seat. Given the intense competition for nursery admissions, we felt that it was a good idea, more so as this amount was refundable, in case our kid got through other formal school.
