DETAILS About the Program

The program runs 5 days a week from Monday to Friday. Each class is two hours long. Presently we are enrolling for the last batch of April 2025-26

We maintain a teacher-to-child ratio of 5:1. Each class has about 5 educators and 3 additional caretakers. Each class is close to 1,000 sq. ft. in size and well equipped with developmentally appropriate learning centres and corresponding teaching-learning materials.

Admission Process

Admission to the program is a 3-step process.

1. All interested and eligible parents need to fill out the Online Application Form and book a slot for an Open House. There is a registration fee of ₹ 1,500/- to attend the Open House for the First Steps Program.

2. Attending an Admissions Open House is a mandatory part of the Admissions Process at Arth.

3. Admissions Open House is a 2-hour experience hosted during the weekends that involves a school tour, a classroom experience and interaction with different educators. During our Open House, we share in detail about the program and answer any questions the parents may have.

4. Our Academic Director will also have a 5-minute interaction with each parent during the Open House before they finalise admission.

5. The final admission decision will be communicated the following Monday, and selected parents will need to complete the admission formalities by that Friday. As such, we advise parents to attend the Open House once they are ready to admit their child. We also encourage parents to visit other schools they might be interested in and have questions in mind so that we can have a rich and spirited interaction during their visit.

Please Note -

1. Admission decisions at arth are based solely on personal interaction with parents.

2. Please read the eligibility criteria mentioned above to determine whether your child is eligible for admission to our First Steps Program.

3. Filling out the application form or attending an Open House does not guarantee admission in any way.

4. If the parents have been or are already a part of the Arthen Community, they will not be required to have the interaction. They will be offered admission directly.
