[Resolved]  Mothers Pride Play School — Mothers Pride - Glorified Grocery Shop

One often tends to think that educated people in this country would tend to bring in a change in attitude, I had high regard for new innovative education institutes but my experience with Mothers pride has been horrendous, They have great faculty, my daughre has done great and learned a lot...the curriculum right but their financial management is a scam ...Two experiences I wish to Share, One, when we went for addmission, they offered us a "Package" on a "Special" at 35 K, I work as Sr Manager for a MNC and when I shared that with them unintentionally this they said ya we can give you a Discount ...Man i wasnt loking for a discount...have a standard fees and charge it ...we walked out and they they called me like a Bank ...every single day and then finally in the name of "Afternoon School" they gave me a hefty discount ...btw the afternoon school never happens ...if your are persistent ...you will get the money off ...their Counsellors dont discuss education ..they discuss we have kids from a Different class ...and we will have a classless society ...u wonder ...
then started the real face...the fees is due every quarter, I have never seen the fees reminder but much before due date, i started getting "Collection Calls" even when I am on International roaming, out of town, One thing I want to make clar ..I have never delayed payment for any reason ...they dont have an online portal ...no cheque collection facility, any way because I was travelling and phone cudnt get through ...my son got a call at my resi number (why didnt they call my residence number in the first place) and a 9 ye old kid was told that if the fees doesnt come on Monday ...she will not be picked up ...Let me reitrate that even at this stage the fees wasnt due ..it is advance ...for fees for Jan- Mar 2009, this call came on Jan 9th ...which company in the world does that...they dont tell you this ...Their collection staff is driven on pushing people ...
This is about Mothers Pride Noida Sec 61 ., ...Purely a Grocery shop run by a franchisee ...dont get scammed ...
Mrs Sudha Gupta, before you get on the radio and preach Child Behaviour, see what your staff does to 9 yr olds ...Check the facts ...and dont Scam people

Hi Manish, read your complaints towards mother's pride.. Just would like to correct you at some places...
1. My daughter is in mother's pride as well, and when i went for the counselling session, i was only and only told about the curriculam, as well as the activities that are there for the children of mother's pride, and after i went for the school round, i was told the fee structure.
2. There cannot be a standard fee structure for everyone, reason being, every company has corporate tie ups, i[censored] understand what tht means as you are working with a MNC.. so there are certain benefits for those parents, and trust me the parents are FINE with it..
3. If one person from some branch has not given you a proper chance to know about mother's pride in and out, doesnt mean the organization is not worth it. In the MNC that you work in, there might be a couple of people who are not up to the mark, and they might spoil the reputation of the company, but that really does not mean that the company sucks..
4. NO MOTHERS PRIDE IS A FRANCHIZIE, they only take the land on lease, but the school is run by the same organization, ditto for PRESIDIUM..
i am really feeling sorry for you tht you did not have a good experience but tht really does not mean that nobody will ever have a good experience with mothers pride.. with all due respect, regards... Shweta..
Absolutely true !!!
I wud never advise any parents to go to mothers pride indirapuram, habitat centre branch. After a lot of pomp and show i have been receiving calls from the school to send my child to the pre school as soon as he turns 2 yrs, just coz. they have lured others parents to send their kids at teh age of 1.8. When finally i made up my mind to send the kid, i asked them to give me a round of the nursery area/classes, they said they can not do so as it is their rule. Visiting hours are from 3-5 in the evening!!! I was shocked...n asked them why wud one come in the evening, to see the infrastruture/building or what ? and the staff repeated kept telling u cant go in while the scool is in progress. Now my question to the other parents..WUD U BE INTERESTED TO SEND UR WARD TO THE SCHOOL WHERE IN U R NOT ALLOWED TO GO IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES????
HI

I ENROLLED MY DAUGHTERS TO PRSIDIUM INDIRAPURAM NURSERY BRANCH FOR 2011-12 SESSION. BUT FRANKLY TILL NOW I AM SCARY ABOUT MY DECISION TILL NOW AS THE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE WITH THEM IS NOT GOOD TILL NOW AS TO COLLECT THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT RECIPT TOOK 3 MONTHS WITH NO CO-OPERATION AT THEIR END GOD KNOWS THE FUTURE
Very true.Sec-61 is a real baniya dukan. terrible experience. they promise sthing and offer sthing else and wish that you exhaust bargaining with them...these values and attitude in the field of education?????
Shweta
I completely agree with Manish, your attempt to answer the questions /commetns ment for Mothers pride, gives me a feeling that it is a failed attempt by school staff/owners to show some positive comments about the school. the school and its culture is pathetic... it is just a STORE, a bad one because in a store u atleast get things u have paid for, but here u pay for god knows what all but what u get in return is just anger, frustration, crying /puking child... and numerous calls for presedium adimission or a fee deposit.. do hell with the child ... its just that they need to earn big money... completely CRAP...
To Chair Person Ms. Sudha Gupta,

With Regards,

Its a wonderful organisation... My child has groomed a lot during his stay there... I would definitely recommend it to everyone.. My experience throughout has been amazing. I wish Mother's Pride was there when i was a little girl. Everyone i know is greatly satisfied. If one person doesn't have a good experience out of a family of 1000's, i don't really think it means much. Mother's Pride is a great school! I completely think Mrs. Gupta has gone out of her way to create and bless us with this great 'castle of love' for our children.

I WANT TO PUT MY KID IN A PLAY SCHOOL(FOR FREE) N JOIN HER. first reason is i am broke. second reason is i will get a day time job but i will not earn enough money to run my house(to spend in a month on all exp). PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. PLZ...PLZ...
any feedback about anand vihar/vivek vihar/ mausam vihar branch..planning to put my 2 year old girl
Podar happy kids sarjapur bangalore Center Head Vagdevi

1. Teachers are sitting in one corner in the room and chit chatting.
2. 20-25 children were sleeping in a small room on the floor, very next to each other.
3. Blankets & mattresses were very untidy.
4. Children were playing alone, without anybody keeping an eye on them.
5. Nearly 100 children in the school with 5-6 teachers and 7-8 maids.
6. One maid will feeding 5-6 children, putting her hand in their mouths.
7. cockroach are moving near kitchen area.
8. Uncooked food and chapatis are served to the children.
9. children are standing near the staircase on the 2nd floor, without anyone monitoring them.
10. No guard on the main gate, which means children can sneak out easily.
11. Rooms are very small and cannot accommodate these many children.
I was surprised today to see that my 3 years old child was forced to sit on a completely wet seat in an AC cab while the driver and the maid were sitting on comfortable seats. When I asked the Maid to take my child on her lap, she did it in front of me for an eye wash but in the next stop made her sit in the wet seat.
IMAGINE...such callousness, ruthlessness, carelessness !!!

They were not bothered about my child's health. When confronted them, the driver was extremely rude, not accepting his fault at all, and opening defying me and even having the guts to say that I am free to take it up with the school authority.

When I complained to the school, I got only verbal assurance and mind it, I am saying verbal because the same cab came to drop her aswell.

I really don't think Mother's Pride take care of their students...they are only interested in the money...thats it .

By the way, Shweta, instead of preaching, why don't you try to clean your staff instead...
A big request to everyone, please never ever go to mothers pride indirapuram, habitat centre branch. The same campus consists of presidium also. Everything is gud abt the school except the studies, and yes u will also have to face situations where heights of mismanagement is seen every other day be it their PTM or Bday party !!! If you guys hv all the time in the world and can afford to wait for 3+ hrs for every event...pls go ahead. My kids are still studying there and its a strict no no for any recommendations.
I completely agree with 99% of people who hate the way Mother's pride behaves with parent's money, child's future and ALWAYS acts against the principles of fair behaviour. The frustration of the Staff, is and can be only taken out on parents and the children. Please understand, the staff works in a completely negative frame of mind, due to internal reasons and these are the people who help grow your kid intellectually...!!! Just an example ofd rudeness and unreasonablenes...!!! My child studies in Presidium Ashok Vihar ...He studies in this "Education Chain" for last 5 years !!!...( Each of these years increases the agony for me as a parent !!!) ...My kids birthday is on 15th of April and since I was not looking at hosting a birthday party in a mall ...I just sent ( as it was the wish of my child) chocolates worth 20 Rs each to the kids in the class...40 of them ...They were promptly refused...They said these "Extravagances" are to be avoided as "everybody cannot afford it and hence results in inferiority complex" for the child...Now, look at this, a school which believes in charging 10000 rs for a photo album, ..now thinks a 40 Rs chocolate for birthday will create inferiority complex... !!! I spoke to the front office...And it was a horrible interaction...As i sought to argue my case and convince the lady that if the chocolates are rejected, my kids will feel sad which i dont want him do be, and Suddenly after some time I was accused of being " Abusive"..all for no reason...She went in to the Branch Incharge ...I was listening their conversation wherein she told the Brtanch Incharge that there is a "stupid parent not willing to understand the rules and being unruly and abusive on the phone " . I am a CEO and Executive Director of a private company and have never got this treatment from anybody in life ..!!!. How can they enforce rules which are : a) Unreasonable,
b) Contracdictory
c) arbitrary
d) which they never notified in writring...?
I know ...from my experience that staff behaves in a racist manner( personal expeerience because I am a south Indian)... They behave differently depending upon one's last name, there is a certain pedigree and a certain community that gets things done at their school...and others are treated like ... This is one 5 Star hotel where you pay money and asked to get out ...!!!
I am in a very difficult phase mentally trying to decide on my kids school...Just because my kid loves his friends and I would not want him to lose his friends every now and then and I want him to develop strong friendships...!!!
Anyhow ...my advice to you people would be to desist from getting intonsuch position...
Last 5 years, i have been asking for Sudha Gupta's email id, but not been provided...They sent me sms's to enter my feedback online, inspite of me requestiong for user id and password so that i can do it, they have not sent me one...THEY WILL GIVE IT TO ME IF I AM A gOEL OR A GUPTA OR A jAIN BUT NOT OTHERWISE...
Completely agree with prabhanjan...I was told u can send anything u wish to send with the child on his bday including a cake for 40 students. This is a shocker !!!
Guys, Please strcitly avoid Mother's Pride Noida, 61. The student - teacher ratio is really bad and they are only interested in looting money. really unprofessional. The tune of their business managers changes once you have enrolled your ward in Mother's Pride. Please avoid this play school unless you want to get looted.
Mother's Pride school is ridiculous. I do agree, but can anyone tell me one thing:- Has anyone reached to you to your complaint on this forum?
I am also father of one kid studying in Mother's Pride Sushant Lok-1 branch. I will not suggest anyone to go that branch or anywhere to be very honest.
They are such a cheap minded teachers, money looters, No-1 in mis-behave. And Attitude of teachers is worst. If you enquiry about your kids progress, you will never heard anything. If you complain about some mis-behave with your kid in school, they start revenging with kid and show off in front of you. Also they start complaining about your kid's mis-behave with other kids in class. They will make you ashemed of.
This is not a school, this is HITLER's BOARD ROOM.
Your kid will hardly learn anything. If you are rich and spend money, then your kid will get attention but no knowledge even then.
If you want to make your kid's future, don't send in Mother's Pride. Better send them in 500-100 Rs. monthly fee school. Atleast they teacH your kid education.
In Mother's Pride they make your kid whatever you can't even think about but not a good citizen or good student of school.
In school competition's too, they do partiality openly and put your kid's down because you came to them once with complaint. They know how to take REVENGE from you and your kids.
dear mam,
Sudha Gupta


i am writing this mail to you after i am annoying by your transport incharge. I am driving my vehicle in your mother's pride school since 2004 without any complaint from parents as well as school administration. But in 2010 the transport incharge asking for money to continue my vehicle in mother's pride. At that time he's asking for RS.1000 to 2000 but now he's asking for RS.7000 to 10000. When i made a complaint to the head office at Punjabi Bagh there were not kind of any action taken for from your head office and the transport incharge rejected my vehicle n no more continue in mother's pride.


Kindly help the other people and please take a serious action for this. This is happened to me in Dwarka Branch. transport incharge 'ravinder'.
thank you.

hi everyone, i am a parent of a four year old boy who was in mother's pride anand vihar for two years. i really don't know why most of you have such negative experiences of the school, which in totality has proven to me an ideal school for my young one. when we look out for a starting school we have apprehensions and which last for sometime even when the child starts going to school. but when your child does not want to miss the school even for a single day and is fascinated and shouts at the building 'my school' even on sundays, just think that worries are over. there is definitely sth. your child is getting. i would request all of you to think the other way round. don't mix child and business. see school nowadays are big corporates and they will make money but if they are transparent on their fee structure and providing quality care for the child then they are still better from those who might charge less but don't put in quality. one parent puts it as grocery shop, yes maybe you can say anything but would you like to have grocery from a quality shop or which just sells scrap.

it might be a bunch of people who have bought it a bad reputation but believe me mother's pride is the best.
