Wellington College International Pune Early Years – The Nursery Admissions Process

The Wellington College Early Years approach to preschool education is motivated by the idea to create change at all levels in today’s world, whilst fostering a love for lifelong learning. Through their philosophy children are respected as courageous and competent learners, who are capable of rigorous research and in-depth focus. As part of a small number of premium international schools in India, they place children at the core of everything they do and careful consideration is given to each of their individual talents, skills, and abilities.

Bringing to life and ensuring the success of their dynamic learning community, they employ a highly experienced and extensively trained team of educators, taking into account the realities of this unique school community, which includes their children and as importantly, families who work together in building a successful environment for learning.

Families are seen and appreciated as a child’s first educator and their beliefs, culture, and wisdom are respected and represented. Ensuring a small adult-child ratio, the child’s unique attributes and context are integrated into their learning on a regular basis - embracing the diverse learning community through active participation and a sense of “deeper involvement”. Even from the very first day of school, children are welcomed into a new yet familiar environment as skilled and talented individuals, overflowing with possibilities and endless opportunities.

Arguably, one of the best nursery schools in Pune, their environment can be described as the “third teacher” and the documentation or processes of learning as the communicator by which their children, parents, and any visitor are able to reflect on to understand the progress or rather ‘journey’ of each individual’s learning and development. Parents are seen as partners in the ‘community’ effort of supporting children, relying on trust, collaboration, open communication, shared values, and contribution – a true partnership!

At the very beginning of this partnership lies the admissions process and family experience. This is an exciting opportunity to begin the journey towards lifelong learning at Wellington College International Pune. The initial family meetings comprise of information sharing about our school, and communication about each individual child and their unique personalities and motivations.

Nursery Admissions Reflections and Reviews from our families;

“The interview process provided comprehensive detail about the nursery school at Wellington – from the welcome greetings, guided campus tour, questionnaire, and the individual interview sessions focussing on the child and his family. The whole family was able to take part and enjoyed the visit!” – Prospective Nursery Family.

“My son really enjoyed the visit to the Pre-Primary School today! The activities in the Learning Village immediately caught his attention and he was drawn in. He was so involved in the activities which relieved the pressure we felt, anxiety, and stress about sending him to school. He was able to make connections with the environment and naturally started learning with others and the teachers. We believe that this is the right place for our son and family and we cannot wait to join the best preschool at Wellington College International Pune.” - Prospective Pre-Nursery Family.
