Jumbo Kids is part of the Podar Education Group , which is a dynamic, constantly evolving nucleus, imparting education at various levels, and was established in 1927, that is more than 80 yrs in the education field. The first president of the Podar Group was Mahatma Gandhi and we are proud to follow his educational philosophy in nurturing children.
Mahatma Gandhi said that,' Real education consists in drawing out the best out of yourself', and that is what we aim to do at Podar Jumbo Kids.
“Real education consists in drawing out the best out of
yourself - Mahatma
Gandhi”
At Jumbo Kids we use the best from Tagore (drama and nature), Montessori (learn independently), Vygotsky (let the child use mind tools like questioning, logic), Glenn Doman (sight reading that will enhance spelling and writing skills). When children are taught like this then reading, writing and number work happen naturally and do not have to be forced on the child leading to life long stress.
This kind of education at PJK that is patterned on the individual needs of each child has been termed 'KIDUCATION'—an education which is flexible and which has tailored for each child.
And so we partner with parents with our parenting workshops, parenting articles and parenting books. As our Director Ms Swati Popat Vats says, "The two people who take care of children (parents and teachers) must be empowered about child development techniques and trained to understand the long term implications of incorrect teaching and parenting."

Where Learning
Comes Full Circle
Our director is member of N.A.E.Y.C –Washington and is a celebrated international educationist in the field of preschool education. She has written numerous books for parents, teachers and children.
At Jumbo Kids we believe that each child has a unique learning style and we respect this uniqueness. When a child does any activity at Jumbo Kids, you can be sure that it is contributing directly to the child's physical, emotional or intellectual development.
