It truly is a pure Montessori what Maria had proposed. It is organic, simple, open, full of Nature where kids explore, experience, are free to be, and most importantly Happy.
It's not a School. It's a place to Grow and dwell into Nature. You can even choose to spend time with your special little ones 🙂 here.
You get the surprises when you see your kids performing exceptionally Great during Meets.
My Five Stars to this one.
From A Happy Mother ❤️

Productive minds is like a breath of fresh air for young children. Very different from conventional Pre schools that one gets around here and is unique in its approach to learning and holistic development of the kids. It’s the only pure Montessori school in whole of Delhi & NCR and the best part about this institution is how it upholds the principle of pure Montessori methods at all levels. For my daughter going to Productive Minds is like going to a fun place where she enjoys thoroughly. After having wasted one and half year at a typical Pre school ( Footprints) leaving a bad taste in her mouth and creating a blockage in her mind about going to school, she came out of it and even started enjoying going to PM in a matter of a month! As a parent I’m thoroughly relieved! However the only thing probably I miss here are cctv cameras where one can watch their kid while at work or home. But then again I’m not stressed at all knowing how much she loves spending her time there. Keep up the good work Puniya sir!

This school has been the best find for us. My elder one went to La Petite and I can tell the difference about the ease and happiness with which my younger one goes to this school now.
The teachers, the staff are extremely friendly and caring..the campus is very green, open & serene, which is quite a contrast to the city we live in.
The personal attention every kid gets because of the balanced teacher to student ratio is phenomenal and I am extremely satisfied with the holistic development of my kid.
The best part for me is the flexibility of pick up and drop timings,which makes life extremely stress free.
This school is Montessori in the real sense and I would highly recommend this to any parent looking for a good playschool.
Its a home away from home!

I am a proud parent of Productive Minds alumni. My Daughter joined the Montessori school at the age of 17 months and continued till the age of 6 yrs when she graduated to formal school. I would say we have been extremely lucky to have found the best place for kids to learn and grow.
It made her an avid reader and quick learner.
Though at the first impression to most parents it wound look as if kids are not doing anything and just whiling away time playing, the real picture is evident once the child completes the Montessori.
I would recommend all parents to go and feel the energy at the school and spend sometime just observing the kids.
It’s an open house and parents are welcome.
Happy kids and happier parents are the best review one will get
Also all the kids who graduate after KG get admission to any school they apply in Gurgaon so no panic buttons pls
I would highly recommend parents to let their children to complete the Montessori and not hurry for formal schooling ( the fear of missing the bus is false narrative )
Thanks Punia sir and All the staff at PM

Thrilled to write a review about Productive Minds School in Gurgaon! My child joined this school when he was just 18 months old, with basic gross motor skills of only walking. From day one, I could see the difference in my child's development as he was given ample opportunities for self-discovery.
The environment at Productive Minds is designed to facilitate collaborative learning, and my child received due care and guidance from elder kids. I was amazed to see how quickly he learned and developed his skills in a natural and non-intrusive way.
One thing that I really appreciated about the school was that my child got enough sun, shade, space, and mud in the early years to develop his gross motor skills. This resulted in him becoming an independent child who can choose, undertake activities himself/herself, and then wind up. It was really amazing to see how his learning was progressive, dependent upon his ability and pace.
I have never seen my child not happy or not wanting to go to school. He loves his school and has developed a strong bond with his teachers (Nidhi mam, Bharati Mam & Jyotsna Mam) and classmates. I cannot thank the staff (Shehzadi didi) at Pure Montessori School enough for their love, care, and dedication towards my child's growth and development. Many thanks to Jagvendera Sir for executing his vision with so many happy smiles.
As a result of the school effort, I have a confident reader and an independent child who may not need any supplementary tutoring.
If you're looking for a school that focuses on holistic development and creates an environment where children can thrive and grow, then Pure Montessori School is definitely the right choice. Highly recommended!

My son went here for a year (and i wish he went for atleast 2 more years!)
In short- this is the best preschool in Gurgaon if you want your kid to be resilient, creative, assertive and develop a fundamental love for learning and schools. I truly believe you cannot give your kid a better start.
Long story:
Truly Montessori and the deviations are all very well thought out and based on research by the principal Mr Poonia.
1. Mixed age classroom- kids learn from each other and knowledge runs deeper when they teach others. You get a kid whose fundamentals are clear and strong.
2. Free play in nature- Kids get dirty yes, but there is an innate happiness in planting vegetables, pretend play in mud and just learning social skills while playing with older kids. Also research indicates kids under 6 should spend less than 15hrs a week doing guided activities!
3. Choosing your own work- Kids choose what they want to learn on any day. 10 min of learning what you want to learn, stays with you far more than 2 hours of being lectured on 😄
Also, freedom to work on an activity for as long as they wish, develops concentration
4. Sensorial activities - which other school will focus as much on sense of smell/taste/sound?? Somehow ignored in most other schools' curriculum
5. Independence- kids are taught early on to make their own snack in the mini kitchen, take care of their belongings and eat food together. They even have dedicated sections on learning to dress independently, filling water/carrying tray/cleaning up etc
6. Reading and math- All the free play and at end of the year you will see the leap kiddo takes in reading/math. My 3.5 yo was reading 3 letter words. Most 4yo in this school can read complex words and do addition-without any pressure to study. Why? See point 3
If you have doubts like unstructured learning or too much play (like that's bad for kids!), Just visit and see any of their 4/5 year olds. They will be miles ahead of other kids in big name brand schools - while also just looking like kids who are doing what kids should do-play. They have their whole life to cram information but under 6 is when their personalities are getting formed. The way this school is designed, kids are better decision makers, confident and just happy to learn new things - traits to be treasured in life.
My son absolutely loved going to school everyday and i could see the leaps and bounds of growth he went through there. Thanks to the amazing staff and Poonia sir (even though we didn't always agree 😄)

This place is a blessing for all parents who want to see their children learn while playing. A place that allows you full freedom to be their with your kid full time while they are settling. Place where along with children we as parents learn everyday to give your kids freedom to explore and learn. My journey of 4 years have been wonderful....I feel so proud as a parent when end of 4 years my daughter can read a book so confidently without any contribution at our end. All thanks to the school and teachers.

We are expats family from Japan.
My son has been to this school for about 7months now. This is his first school in India.
We as parents are very happy to see him settled down, experience and learn many new things. I can clearly see his growth and development after joining this school.
All staff members are very friendly and teachers are very supportive.
I'm very satisfied with the school.
And,
I personally love the school dog, Healer(Golden Retriever) a lot!

This is one of the best thing you can do for your child, if you get her/him in Productive minds starting from 18-20 months of her/his age.
The only pure Montessori school in Gurgaon, promotes mixed age classroom, which helps kids to learn from watching each other. The principle of not pushing kids to do things and rather than pick up things on their own, also helps to reduce the anxiety in kids, which they generally get when they are asked to follow a set pattern daily in other schools.
In this school, it is not just about that the kids would be able to read early, it is that they enjoy doing so.
My 4.5 year old son who has been learning the Montessori way under guidance of great staff at school, loves to read his books out of his own interest. I often find him in his room reading stories of his books.
The open space, freedom and plenty of options to play on your own or along with other kids, really makes the child happy and "productive".

I wish i could give more stars to this amazing school. Our daughter has been going to Productive Minds Montessori since past 8 months now, and it has been a rewarding experience in more than one way. It is a place where your child will thrive and learn happily. Some really great facilities that they offer for the benefit of both parents and kid are as follows:
1. Unique ''Settling the baby Down" facility: Our daughter was/is an extremely shy of strangers and new places. Unlike any other preschool, it provides full freedom to mothers/guardians to be with the child for as long as the child takes to get comfortable with her new surroundings. I can vouch for this system as our daughter took full 2 months to settle and now she is one happy child. No distress tears is the mantra.
2. Freedom to choose: Instead of being directed at an early age, the school provides absolute freedom for kids to choose what they want to learn. They can play in the green areas, learn how plants grow or can be indoors and pick any activity of their choice.
3. Phonics reading: When a child under 3 years can read three letter words, you can well imagine the kind of learning that happens here.
These are only some of the top points. And i am glad we made the right choice for our child

Lifelong Value Addition
Each and Every Productive Minds Montessori Preschools Alumni (since 2014) is topper in formal schools. Productive Minds is proud of having added tremendous long term value by making Optimal Development of every play school child Feasible and have Extremely Delighted alumni Parent Patrons. Providing Developed World Early Childhood Education Experience is costly. Space Matters! And Space is Very Costly in Gurgaon (our rents are huge). We hope over time to have economy of scale to benefit larger numbers of play school age children.
