2·7 Oct 2026·on How many events a year need costumes or a parent on campus at Kakatiya Concept School?

Don't know this school, but our preschool is the same, something every month. What helped us was asking at admission for last year's event calendar rather than this year's plan. Schools seem happier sharing what already happened than promising what will. At least you see the shape of the year.

1·18 Sept 2026·on Robotics class for a 6 year old. Worth it, or Lego with a fee?

Ask if you can sit in for the first one. We did that for my daughter's dance class and the hour turned out to be 40 minutes of class and 20 of shoes, water and settling down. Felt much less long once we'd seen it.

2·15 Sept 2026·on My son wants to be woken when I'm called in before dawn. Every single time

We do the note thing in my milestone weeks, when I'm gone before our daughter wakes. She can't read yet, so it's a drawing, usually a bad one. It works most days. Some days she still wanted the actual goodbye ♥

2·22 Aug 2026·on Client walk-throughs are moving to 7 pm, and those evenings it's just me and my 4 year old

Can you move some clients to Saturday mornings instead? I have delivery dates I can't shift, so I know not everything moves. But clients who can't do daytime often can do weekends, and then you have backup at home.

0·28 Jul 2026·on Preschool teacher tells my mother things at pickup that I only hear about at 9 pm

Asked her this morning for a diary line for falls and anything about food. She said yes without any fuss ❤️ I think it was bigger in my head than it needed to be.

0·6 Jul 2026·on New boy in my son's class is visually impaired. My son wants to help and keeps getting it wrong

Your son taking his arm came from a kind place. I'd tell him that first, before anything about what to change. Then maybe let him ask the boy what helps. Kids that age take it better from each other than from us ❤

3·6 Jul 2026·on Could we skip pre-nursery altogether and apply straight for nursery?

We did pre-nursery and I'll be honest, it was mostly for us. Our daughter was perfectly happy at home with family. The one thing it did give her was a year of getting used to a uniform, a bag and a van before the bigger school. Whether that's worth a year's fees, I'm still not sure.

1·23 Jun 2026·on my 4 yr old thinks every tall building in the city is a hospital

Up at 4 with our toddler and this made me laugh. Ours waves bye to the office towers too, then asks if I'm inside one ❤️

1·10 Jun 2026·on My mother says our toddler eats like a sparrow. She seems perfectly happy to me

Also, enjoy the stage where nobody follows anyone round the house with a plate. That stage goes quickly.

0·10 Jun 2026·on My mother says our toddler eats like a sparrow. She seems perfectly happy to me

This made me laugh. If it has already started at 3 months, I feel slightly better about mine.

0·4 May 2026·on Nursery forms with a page for parents on 'why this school'. Does anyone read it?

We filled three of these for preschool last year. One school brought up what we'd written in the parent interaction, so it clearly wasn't only a formality there. The other two never mentioned it. I'd write it plainly, in your own words, and not overthink it. You can't control what they do with it anyway ❤️
