Q1: What kind of activities will my child do?
A: The above programs are primarily based on Theory of Multiple Intelligence
and will expose the child's all the eight
intelligences. All activities are loaded with FUN and enjoyment. They will be based on music, language, books
science, art, craft, numerical activities, kinesthetic and movement activities,
clay, theater & drama, social activities etc.
Q2: Will my child have fun?
A: Surely - Geniekids believes that greatest fun is when children are interested
in what they are doing.
So while we do not entertain your child, the activities and the process of
learning followed by GenieKids is based on child enjoying the whole experience.
Q3: What will my child learn?
A: The objective here is to expose the child - it is not a skill development
program.
Each activity gives a meaningful exposure to the
child in an enjoyable way.
Q4: How many children in one group?
A: With one facilitator, each group upto 6 years consists of maximum of 12 children and for
7+ years maximum of 15 children.
Q5: Do you provide transport?
A: No, we do not; kindly arrange the same yourself.
Q6: How does the program work?
A: For each program, each week (Monday to Friday) is an independent module.
Children register in terms of number of weeks. We do not register for part week.
Q7: How many weeks can I take?
A: You need to take a minimum of THREE weeks. However, you can choose
the weeks as per your holiday plan.
Weeks taken can be continuous or intermittent. Each week is a separate
module. Which means your child can do say two weeks, then go out of station and
then again do few weeks.
Q8: What if I want to cancel
registration in between?
A: After five years of working with children, parents and teachers,
geniekids has full confidence in its program. Hence, we feel trial is not
necessary. However, for some reason if you have to withdraw your child before or
during the weeks registered for, registration amount is refunded on basis of
weeks unattended. You need not give the reason for withdrawal, but you will need
to inform us before the beginning of a week. We will not be able to refund money
for the weeks the child does not come without information to us.
Q9: Can I change the weeks for which my child is registered? Yes you can postpone or prepone (full) weeks, subject to availability in
that age group in that week, if informed in advance of the week. However, few sessions missed out of one week cannot
be adjusted in some other week.
Q10:
How do I register?
A: Three Options for Registration
1. Visit our center - fill the form - pay via cash or
cheque (no credit cards please)
2. We email you the form and you attach a cheque to the
form and courier or hand deliver to us. Cheque in favour
of GENIEKIDS
3. We email you the form and you email form back and
simultaneously make bank to bank transfer (email us for
bank details)
Q11: Till when
are registrations open?
A: Till there is vacancy in each age group. However, since during summer the
program gets filled up soon, early registration is recommended. Remember there
are no cancellation charges (if we are informed in advance of the week
registered for).
