Why parents trust us

Every worry, answered before you ask

We built Growing Steps as parents first, educators second.

You can peek in, anytime

Every classroom streams live to the Growing Steps parent app, all school hours. No "trust us" — see for yourself.

Clean enough for crawlers

Toys sanitised daily, floors mopped every two hours, shoe-free classrooms. Because everything ends up in little mouths.

More arms for more hugs

One trained teacher for every 5 toddlers (1:8 for older children) — every one of them background-verified and ECCE-certified.

Play is the syllabus

A play-way curriculum mapped to NEP 2020 — children build language, motor skills and confidence without ever "studying".

Food a nani would approve

Nutritionist-planned menus cooked fresh on campus. No junk, no repeats all week, and allergy lists on every kitchen wall.

Goodbyes without tears

Our gentle-start week keeps hours short and lets mumma or papa stay nearby till your child settles. Most do within days.

From our parents

Words that make our day

★★★★★

"Aarav cried the whole first morning — his teacher held him the whole time and sent me photos every hour. By Friday he was running in without a wave goodbye."

Priya Sharma Priya Sharma
Mumma of Aarav (2.5) · Pune

"The live CCTV was what convinced us, honestly. Now I barely open the app — that's how much we trust the didis."

Parents of Meera (3) · Bengaluru
★★★★★

"They noticed Vihaan naps only with his yellow duck before we even told them. It's the small things."

Questions mummas ask

You ask, we answer

What's the right age to start? +
Most children join Tiny Toes between 1.5 and 2 years, but there's no perfect age. Come for a visit and we'll suggest the gentlest fit for your child.
What if my child cries at drop-off? +
Almost every child does, and it's okay. Our gentle-start week keeps hours short and lets a parent stay nearby until goodbyes get easier — usually within days.
How does the CCTV access work? +
Every classroom streams live to the Growing Steps parent app during school hours. Only verified parents of that centre get access, and recordings are stored securely for 30 days.
Do you provide meals, or do we send a dabba? +
Both work. Our nutritionist plans fresh, no-junk menus cooked on campus; if your child has allergies or preferences, send a dabba and we'll warm it up.
Does my child need to be potty-trained? +
Not at all. Our didis handle diapering with care and help with potty training when you and your child are ready — never before.
What are the fees? +
Fees vary by city and program, with no hidden annual surprises — everything is on one sheet. Request a callback and the centre head will share the exact structure.

Let's talk about your little one
