We are very pleased to hear the good news
that Magic Years is ranked Delhi’s #1 propri-
“etary preschool again. This year we complete
45 years, and every year we have made a conscious
effort to improve our early childhood education
practices. During the past eight months of Covid-19
shutdown we have been working closely with our
parents, to maintain learning continuity of children.
We meet with all parents every month and present
them Montessori materials to enable children to
learn at home. According to feedback from parents
this system is much more successful than online
classes. However, the big difficulty is that the Delhi
education department has decreed that if a school
is not holding online classes, it cannot charge fees.
This has created great financial difficulties” — Shir-
ley Madhavan Kutty, founder-principal of The
Magic Years, Vasant Vihar, Delhi
