Book a TourWhat Parents Are Saying
"Great Preschool! We couldn't be happier with our experience at MADAME CURIE PRESCHOOL. From the moment we first visited, it was clear that this school is dedicated to providing a nurturing and educational environment for young children. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly passionate about early childhood education. They go above and beyond to ensure that each child feels seen, valued, and supported. Particularly when it comes to providing individualized attention to each child. My daughter feel comfortable and happy. she loves going to school every day and has learned so much, from new songs to important social skills. The activities are fun and help my child grow in many ways. Overall, I highly recommend MADAME CURIE PRESCHOOL to any parent looking for a supportive, engaging, and well-rounded preschool experience for their little one. It's been an amazing start to my child's educational journey, and we're so grateful to be part of this wonderful community!"

"My toddler has been attending this pre-school for over 6 months now and we are pleased with the transition we have noticed in her. My toddler has shown tremendous improvement in terms of social skills and being able to articulate her needs better. Being able to learn some of the core life skills and values at a tender age in a supportive, caring environment ensure kids develop to be better human beings and I can certainly say in that regard, this preschool has helped nurture her skills while inculcating good habits. Overall, it just doesn't feel like a mere transaction but an extended family that really cares about the overall growth of the child. The staff are very supportive and ensure child's overall needs are taken care of and my child is eager to be at the preschool."

"My son has been attending this preschool since he was about 2 years old. I am more than pleased with his progress in the last few months. He's become more clear in expressing his needs, fulfilling some of them independently and developed a sense of politeness while acknowledging gratitude which are the crucial things as a toddler. This preschool has played a pivotal role in teaching not only academics but different languages, crafts and extra curricular activities like piano and yoga and that drives him to be excited and interested to go to the preschool. A very big thank you to Ms. Sri and teachers for putting immense efforts to shape the children's future by helping them in their most important phase of life."

"MCS- The first school of my son where I sent him when he was 2.5 years old with all the parent anxiety. But everything changed in a week. The school is amazing with wonderful teachers who take very good care. The care provided for children is excellent in all ways. Every small need of these growing minds is taken care and the curriculum is also good. MCS has given us a relaxed feeling that our little one is in great hands!!"
