Bubble Blue welcomes children from 6 months to 12 years of age. Our programmes are structured as follows:

• Infant & Toddler Care (6 months – 2.5 years) — nurturing, sensory-rich environment for our youngest members
• Montessori Preschool (2.5 – 6 years) — Toddlers, Nursery (Montessori I), LKG (Montessori II), UKG (Montessori III)
• After-School Daycare (6 – 12 years) — supervised care, homework assistance, and enrichment activities

Enrolment is simple:

1. Fill in the online admission enquiry form on our website, or call your nearest centre directly.
2. A member of our team will reach out within 24 hours to discuss your child’s age group, availability, and schedule a centre visit.
3. Visit the centre, meet the educators, and get a feel for the environment.
4. Submit the required documents and complete the fee registration to confirm your child’s seat.

We encourage families to schedule a visit and trial day before finalising admission.

The main academic session at Bubble Blue begins in April, aligning with the West Bengal academic calendar. However, we accept mid-session admissions throughout the year subject to seat availability. The current session is 2026–27. Contact us to check availability for your child’s age group.

The following documents are typically required at the time of admission:

• Child’s birth certificate
• Passport-size photographs of the child
• Immunisation / vaccination record
• Parent / guardian ID and address proof
• Any previous school records (for children transferring mid-session)

Our team will guide you through the documentation process at the time of enrolment.

Absolutely — we actively encourage centre visits before admission. You can schedule a guided tour at any of our three centres (Salt Lake, New Town Action Area I, or New Town DH Block). During the visit, you will meet our educators, see our classrooms and outdoor play areas, and understand our daily routine. To book a visit, call us or fill in the enquiry form.

Yes, a one-time registration / admission fee is payable at the time of enrolment to confirm your child’s seat. This fee is separate from the monthly tuition and daycare fees. Please contact your nearest Bubble Blue centre for the current fee schedule, as it may vary by programme and age group.

Preschool at Bubble Blue is our structured early-childhood education programme (2.5 – 6 years) following the Montessori method. It runs for defined school hours (morning/midday sessions).

Daycare is our full-day childcare service for children from 6 months to 12 years, covering infants and toddlers who are too young for preschool, children who attend the preschool and need extended care, and school-age children (6–12 years) who need after-school supervision and activities.

Many families combine both — their child attends Montessori preschool classes in the morning and stays on in daycare for the rest of the day.

The Montessori method, developed by Dr Maria Montessori, is a child-led approach to education where children are free to choose and work at their own pace within a carefully prepared environment. Key principles include:

• Hands-on learning — children learn by doing, using purpose-built Montessori materials
• Mixed-age classrooms — older children mentor younger ones, building leadership and empathy
• Freedom with responsibility — children develop self-discipline and concentration naturally
• Holistic development — equal emphasis on cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth

At Bubble Blue, all our preschool educators are trained in the Montessori approach, and our classrooms are equipped with authentic Montessori learning materials.

Our centres are open Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM – 7:30 PM and Saturday, 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM.

Typical preschool session timings:

• Morning session: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
• Full-day preschool: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
• Daycare extended hours: From 7:30 AM (drop-off) to 7:30 PM (pick-up)

Exact session timings are confirmed at the time of enrolment and may vary slightly by centre.

Beyond the core Montessori curriculum, Bubble Blue offers a wide range of enrichment activities:

• Music, dance, and movement
• Art and craft
• Yoga and mindfulness
• Outdoor play and sports (football, cycling, swimming excursions)
• Science exploration and experiments
• Storytelling and dramatics

These activities are integrated into the daily schedule and are included as part of the programme.

Yes. Bubble Blue provides a freshly prepared, nutritious meal plan for all enrolled children. The meal plan typically includes:

• Morning snack — fruits, milk, or light bites on arrival
• Lunch — a balanced hot meal with dal/sabzi/rice/roti or an equivalent
• Evening snack — light snacks for children staying for extended daycare

Our kitchen maintains hygiene standards and caters to common dietary preferences. Parents can inform us of any allergies or dietary restrictions at the time of enrolment and we will accommodate these wherever possible.

The schedule is adapted for each age group and may vary day to day based on theme weeks or special events.

Child safety is our top priority at Bubble Blue:

• CCTV monitoring — all centres are under 24×7 CCTV surveillance; parents can request access on prior notice
• Controlled entry/exit — only authorised adults on the parent’s pre-approved list may pick up a child
• Verified staff — all educators and support staff undergo background verification before joining
• Child-safe premises — rounded furniture, safety gates, age-appropriate equipment, and childproofed spaces
• First aid — trained staff on-site at all times; paediatric first aid kits available
• Emergency protocols — fire drills, emergency contact procedures, and medical emergency response plans are in place

We maintain low student-to-educator ratios to ensure every child receives individual attention:

• Infants (6 – 12 months): 3:1
• Toddlers (1 – 2.5 years): 5:1
• Preschool (2.5 – 6 years): 8–10:1 (with a lead Montessori teacher and an assistant)
• After-school Daycare (6 – 12 years): 12:1

These ratios are maintained throughout the day, including during meals and outdoor play.

Fees at Bubble Blue vary by programme (preschool vs daycare), age group, session duration (half-day vs full-day), and centre. We offer monthly, quarterly, and annual payment options.

Payment modes accepted include:

• Online bank transfer (NEFT/RTGS)
• UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm)
• Cheque

Please contact your nearest centre for the current detailed fee schedule. We also provide corporate tie-up benefits for employees of partner organisations — speak to us for details.

Bubble Blue follows the West Bengal school holiday calendar with some centre-specific additions. We share a detailed annual calendar with families at the start of each session.

For child absences:

• Please inform the centre by WhatsApp or phone before the child’s usual arrival time
• Extended leave (5+ days) should be communicated in advance where possible
• Monthly fees are not prorated for individual absent days; however, we address extended medical leaves on a case-by-case basis

Bubble Blue is an inclusive environment and we believe every child deserves quality early childhood care. We welcome children with mild to moderate developmental needs where our setting can provide appropriate support. We encourage parents to speak with our Head of Academics before enrolment so we can assess whether our programme is the right fit and what additional support we can put in place. We work collaboratively with therapists and specialists where needed.
