Posted by: parentingfundas on: July 29, 2011
The first thing we have in mind when we visit a preschool in context of getting our child admitted is who the person behind this institution is. Many websites are filled with school reviews regarding the fee structure, its curriculum, its methodology and much more (which too is of utmost importance) but how often do we get to know the brain behind all this? As a keen parent I was always interested in knowing the principal, how she interacts with parents while we visit the school and what her background is and many more but couldn’t really find out any way to do so. What better way than going out myself and interviewing them. This is the first in the series of interviews of the principals of Gurgaon pre-schools and formal schools where we give you more information about not only the school but also the person behind it.
We also encourage readers to ask queries, doubts if they have any in mind, regarding the pre-school and education in general. All the queries will be addressed to the principals directly.
Our first principal in this initiative is Ms Shailini Gauba – Hony. Director, Founder and Principal at iDiscoveri Preschool Sector 46 Gurgaon - Idiscoveri Pre School (sector 46) in Gurgaon. Ms Gauba has over 20 years of experience in this field and is the person behind the “best pre-school” in Gurgaon. On visiting the pre-school a year ago, I was showed the school in detail and told about its curriculum etc about which I wrote a review here (http://parentingfundas.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/review-of-idiscoveri-preschool-gurgaon/) .
On my second visit for her Interview – I came to know many new things like the way school imbibes modern values and restores the customs and traditions too. The idea of celebrating “Grandparents Day” reflects the school’s belief in respecting the elders and celebrating their presence in our lives. In today’s world it’s very important to imbibe these core values in kids not only through their parents but also through the school.
On the “Grandparents’ Day” no parent is allowed to come to school but only grandparents of the kids. The way they are welcomed and given due respect is just worth a watch. I saw the pictures and was impressed with the whole idea of celebrating this day.
“Most grandparents have tears in the eyes when they see their grandchildren performing on stage. The whole environment is so emotionally charged,” tell Ms Gauba adding that the school doesn’t have the tradition of inviting any “Chief Guest”. “This is just waste of time and we believe the only chief guests could be parents in itself.” This is a fresh change from all the schools where you see so many chief guests in the form of politicians and ministers which have no relation to the school. Hats off for this initiative!
Prior to iDiscoveri, Ms Gauba ran a pre-school called “Tender Years” in Delhi from her home as it was the time she was also devoting time to her two kids, who are now in higher classes. The school is now closed and she focuses her entire creative energy on iDiscoveri.
I asked her certain questions that many parents asked me on my blog. First one was regarding her views on cut off age group for nursery.
Me: “My kid is November born and she misses the date of Nursery admission in many schools by one month and would have to wait for entire one year before she gets admission in nursery. Some schools also recommend me to change my kid’s birth certificate and alter her age by 2 months. What are your views on that?”
Ms Gauba: I don’t think there is any need to alter the age of a kid to get her admission in Nursery if she falls short by a month or two. I have two sons, one is born after September and one prior to it. I did not try and tweak the birth certificate of the December born just because he should get admission. Though his cousin and he are same age group and she is one class higher than him, it doesn’t really matter.
I actually feel that the kids who are eldest in their class are actually stronger in their concepts and have better understanding and maturity than the smallest ones. They have strong grasping power and have deep rooted concepts. So it’s always good to let the child be in the same class as he deserves to be in. Don’t try to rush into getting admission early. It won’t help any way.
Another parent on our blog questioned: “My child is just 2 year old and I am scared if I put him to a pre-school, chances are he could get bullied by older kids and would not be able to tell about it to teachers and us. What does a pre-school do to address this issue?”
Ms Gauba: There is usually a child in every group who is hyperactive and may have tendency to bully other kids or kids of younger age. We generally tackle this issue by keeping our student teacher ratio in balance and taking special care of such kids. If ever we find such kid who has the tendency to bully other kids, we talk to the parents and give special attention to the kid.
“My child remains very quiet in class and doesn’t take the initiative to talk and make friends. I am afraid he will become an introvert and would like to know how the school can help me address this issue?”
To this question, Ms Gauba had a story to tell: There was a child in their class who remained quiet and didn’t want to make friends. He didn’t talk to even the teachers. But one of our teachers (who is still with us) took the initiative to take special care of him and get him out of his shell. She asked him to become friends with her. Though the child initially did not show interest in developing friendship with the teacher but later during one of the activities in class the child held the teacher’s hand and is with her during whole time. We published this story in one of the publications after few years and were so touched by it. I am lucky to have such teachers who take this initiative and are ready to help children in every aspect.
Question: “My child becomes attached to his teacher very easily and doesn’t like it when she is absent for long or worst is she gets replaced by other teacher or leaves the school. What does the school do to ensure that the teachers are retained so it doesn’t affect the child’s psychology?”
Ms Gauba: We have teachers who are working with us since the time of school’s inception and we generally try our best to retain them. As a rule the student teacher ratio is 1:10, 2 mentors and 1 maid with 20 students in a class. So if one mentor is on leave the students don’t feel the absence to that extent as they are also used to seeing other one and the chances of both taking a leave together are highly unlikely.”
Like me, all you parents might have numerous questions in mind and also trying to seek answers to it. Please use this forum to address them and we will have more principals on board in future.

December Events
1. Teacher Development Programme at Chennai by SchoolScape
Dec 10
About -
The Teacher Development Programme being conducted by SchoolScape is aimed at working teachers and parents to enable them to work with children in the second phase of development, from 6 yrs to 12 yrs; Classes 1 to 8.
The programme is being conducted to give schools an opportunity to bring in changes in the classroom systematically and easily in tune with current ideas of education, discussed elaborately in the NCF (National Curriculum Framework) documents, which are also the basis for the RtE Act.
With the programme timed to start from the December holidays, it would prepare the participating educators to bring in changes from the next academic year. The Montessori programme for this age group makes it possible for schools and professionals to decide how the principles and practices could be incorporated into a regular classroom.
The course would help the teachers ensure that they are effective in helping children to learn constructively, rather than mechanically; comprehensively rather than in bits and pieces; with understanding, rather than merely by rote. The teacher would be able to see the evidence of her efforts in a short time as children explode into learning along with a feeling of responsibility and a psycho-social development.
Benefiting the child, the parent and the professional educator, while the composite learning levels of the school are also raised, the Teacher Development Programme will be multi-beneficial.
Curriculum
The focus of the TDP would be on learning the pedagogy that is intended to be practiced in the schools or education programmes. There would be a heterogeneous mix of lecture-discussions, demonstration of activities, experiential learning, presentations, seminars, group reading, observation, written assignments, games & exercises, practice sessions, along with opportunities for reflection that will all be used as a means to help the participants to discover their own potential.
Skills like singing, art work, leading a discussion, story telling, writing and reading will also be built in seamlessly into the programme.
The subjects studied would be
Language, Mathematics, History, Geography, Geometry, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Art
Principles of Montessori theory and practice
Democracy and relationship to school and society
Alternative education in India
Education thinkers and practitioners
Books

My Journey To Motherhood
Someone rightly said – motherhood is the keystone of the arch of matrimonial happiness and I wanted to plunge into this happiness in the second year of our marriage. And what best way to start trying could be than to take a break and go for a holiday. Both of us took leave from our respective jobs and went straight to Goa and had a wonderful time. After coming back from our fun vacation, we got busier in our lives and let things take its own course. The following month we got this wonderful news – I was pregnant.
Though we were desperate to share things right in the first month but elders told us to keep mum and be patient for at least three months. The reasons were many, as during the first trimester we had our share of difficulties when the doctor told us that there is a slight amount of bleeding around the sac. She suggested bed rest for 2 weeks along with doses of Progesterone to support the pregnancy.
At the onset of the second trimester I was again advised to take it easy because the placenta had come down near the cervix. After another few weeks, by God’s grace my condition improved and the rest of the time went smoothly and happily. It was then I realized that pregnancy has many benefits as for the first time in my life – I enjoyed eating with out feeling guilty!
We both looked forward to my visits to the doctor for ultrasound as it gave us a chance to have a glimpse of our baby, listen to her heartbeat and see our bundle of joy more closely. My due date according to my doc was 21st Jan, but my girl could not wait that longer.
On 12th Jan midnight, I started having mild period-like pains. I immediately called my doc and she said they were very early labour pains and can also be false labour. She asked me to wait for another one hour and see if the intensity increases. After one hour it was still the same kind of mild pain after a gap of 5-7 minutes. It was then that my doctor asked me to go to the hospital and the time was 3 a.m. At the hospital the doctor confirmed that I was actually having contractions but at a very early stage. She gave me sedatives so that I could sleep and the pains would subside if it’s false labour.
Next day when I woke up the pain had increased a little in intensity but could not be called actual labour and the dilation was also of about 1 cm. Doctor asked us if we wanted they can induce the pain and deliver the baby today or we could wait to let labour progress on its own. We decided that we did not want to hurry things and let nature take its course. The whole day of 13th Jan I stayed in the birthing suite of one of the cities best hospital, meeting friends and family, watching TV with my husband.
By 13th night the labour pains increased a little more. But now the doc said that if I do not go into labour by morning they will start inducing. By 14th morning the contractions were coming more strongly but the dilation was not satisfactory. So they planned to induce me. After some time some doctor came in and broke the water bag. All this time my sister, who herself if a doctor herself, was with me.
When the water came out it had a greenish ting of myconium (baby stool). And after this with each contraction the babies hear beat started dipping. My doctor saw what was happening and decided that a C section has to be done urgently as baby was in distress. Then everything happened so fast, taking me from my room to the OT and getting me ready for the C section.
I was given a spinal anesthesia, which took some time for the body to go numb. But I still could feel the pulling and tugging; think they had already given me a cut. Since I was not mentally prepared for a C section and didn’t know what to expect during the operation, I panicked.
I had a notion that I wont feel anything but could feel every movement, although without pain and this got me really scared. I panicked more and starting saying, “I can still feel everything.” I got so stressed that my heart beat went up till 130 bpm. Then all I remember is some thing getting injected in the IV tube and a foggy mask
over my nose and mouth.
I woke up with the doctor knocking on my forehead saying,” Harpreet..wake up… You have got a baby girl. Congratulations”. With that I was taken to the recovery room.
Finally I met my baby Meher at 9 p.m. that night and she was born at 11:42 a.m. on a very auspicious day Makar Sankranti. And she also shares her birth no.14 with me and my hubby. All I can say is she was worth waiting for and we have never felt so happy and content.
Motherhood has relaxed me in many ways. You learn to deal with crisis. I’ve become a juggler, I suppose. It’s all a big circus, and nobody who knows me believes I can manage, but sometimes I do!
