About the school: At our centre, we believe that children have endless capabilities to observe, explore, and learn from the world around them, which is why active learning lies at the heart of everything we do.

Our all-rounded, futuristic curriculum—delivered by qualified teachers and supported by child-friendly facilities—creates a joyful and stimulating environment for holistic growth.

Common questions about this role
Do I have to work weekends?
Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off.
What kind of menu does the school kitchen run?
School kitchens typically run a fixed weekly menu balanced for North/South Indian vegetarian (and sometimes non-veg) options, designed around age-appropriate nutrition norms.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
The Progressive Minds Preschool and Daycare follows the NO BOARD curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
Are meals provided at school?
Most schools offer a subsidised staff canteen or a daily mid-morning snack and lunch. Boarding schools typically include all meals for residential staff.
Will I get PF and statutory benefits?
Yes — established schools provide EPF (Provident Fund) and gratuity (after 5 years), and most also provide ESI for staff under the wage threshold. Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter.
