Hopper International Smart School

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR: Madam Sonal Malhotra’s viewpoint about a good playway is that, “Today a kindergarten does not have to be only about scholastic education, but about holistic development of the child, especially in their early years. With Hopper, we aim to address that need .For a kindergarten, the focus has to be the child and that’s exactly what our focus is going to be.”
This kindergarten is spread across 1.5 acres of greenery and gives the child a pollution free environment to grow. Hopper will have state of the art infrastructure, experienced and trained faculty in kindergarten teaching, international teaching aids, curriculum designed by experts, Toy train and a lot of playways within the campus. The teaching pedagogy would be activity based, imbibing the playway methodology. ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL:
