Our Environment
SAFE, CLEAN ENVIRONMENT:
At Little Elly, we provide a safe and child friendly environment to accept the child the way he/she is. In short they will feel it’s the home away from home, a place for them to know their little World.
Our Concept Rooms / Classrooms are like resource centers and the children are not confined to any one room.
At Little Elly centers, we are highly sensitive to the need for cleanliness, hygiene and the security of our children. We are committed to protect the children by deploying evolved security systems that incorporate transparency and common sense.
These are some measures that we use to ensure your child's safety:
General Safety:
- Outside access to our center is enabled through only one main gate and one access controlled main door
- Children’s outside play area is fully enclosed, while still allowing children to play in plenty of sunlight and fresh air
- Availability of fire extinguishers
- Use of child friendly furniture and play equipment
- Storage of all forms of chemicals (cleaning supplies, pesticides, etc.) and pharmaceuticals out of reach of all children
- Availability of 24-hour backup electricity supply

Campus safety:
Teachers and care providers are on safety duty at all times, including out-of-class areas. To avoid accidents and injury, please do not distract staff; it only takes a second for an accident to happen. If you need to convey some information regarding your child, please speak to the center head.
Play Area Safety:
These areas are provided with soft flooring to enable them to crawl and potter about without fear of hurting themselves if they fall. Children in play school and higher are provided with an outdoor play area. Artificial soft flooring/sand is provided in the slides area to cushion any injuries from falling.
Outdoor safety
- The main gate remains closed always with a security-in-charge guarding the entrance

- Parents are advised not to send toys, money or books from home unless instructed by the school authorities. The school does not take responsibility for personal items brought in without prior notice
- Do not make the child wear expensive jewelry to school. The school will not be responsible for any loss
- Field trips are undertaken with a supervisor-student ratio of 2:10. Parents are expected to volunteer to ensure that the ratio is maintained. A staff member will check out the site for safety and hygiene beforehand .

| Facilities |
We have designed the center keeping children in mind, with their needs kept foremost with following facilities:
Classroom and Play Equipment
We use international level of toys, books, activities and games in our various activity centers to offer a highly stimulating and age appropriate learning environment to facilitate the natural development proces
Toilets and toilet training for kids:
Each program’s main room usually has its own attached toilet, which is inspected several times during the day to ensure cleanliness. For infants and young toddlers we provide potty seats to facilitate toilet training.
Day care
A great relief for working mothers! Day care facility will be provided to children who are enrolled in Little Elly or otherwise for children above 4 years. This facility is available from 12 noon to 6.30 pm. We provide both for Monthly as well as on a per Day basis, as we do understand our world.
We provide naptime of 1-2 hours to children who avail the daycare facility. While it is well known that children need more sleep to grow to their full potential, research also suggests that an afternoon nap allows the child to be more energetic and cheerful throughout the day. However, the overall nap duration is restricted to ensure that the nocturnal sleep cycle is not interfered with. Beds are specially designed with your child’s safety and comfort in mind. All other children are provided comfortable and clean individual mattresses for nap-time.
KASH CLUB:
KASH club is our sister concern. Some of our centers offer KASH club programs. Basically it is kids after school hours programs. More information can be got from www.kashclub.com |
