SOMERVILLE INTERACTION (Called at 8:45 am today)

They call only limited parents in each slot, around 10-15.
We had to do registration and deposit 1000rs at the admin counter.
Before us there were 3 candidates waiting. For every candidate they were taking around 10mins.
So, our turn came in 30mins.

We went inside Principal office.
I must say that she is a nice lady, soft spoken and made us comfortable instantly.
Online also I found lot of positive reviews about her.
She asked us to get seated and made our daughter sit near to her.

Questions to Child:
1) What is your name?
2) Do you go to school?
3) School name
4) Teachers name
5) What did she eat in breakfast?
6) Color of apple, banana, grapes.
7) Asked to recite poem in English and Hindi both.
8) Offered her a kikat at the last and asked her the color of wrapper
9) Expected her to say Thankyou

She was speaking in a very friendly manner to our child, which helped to break the ice.

Question to Parents:
1) About my husband's work
2) Why Somerville?
3) What is the difference between Traditional and New Age School?
4) Will we continue to send her to playschool till she joins formal school?
5) How long has she been going in the current school?

I would like to mention that we loved the ambience of the school, the staff was so polite, friendly and approachable.
There was discipline and we could instantly make out why it is ranked above other traditional schools.

Also, I liked the fact that Principal herself is taking too much pain to select each and every candidate herself.
Taking both interview of child and parent herself.
