Age criteria for Playgroup, LKG and UKG
The age that matters is your child’s age at the time of admission. Playgroup starts at 2½ years. LKG and UKG follow a year apart, so most children are about 3½ in LKG and 4½ in UKG. If your child is between two classes, tell the admissions team their date of birth when they call — they will suggest the class that fits.
The admission process, step by step
- Enquire. Fill the one-minute admission enquiry form, call +91 94530 22798 or WhatsApp. The admissions team calls back within one working day.
- Visit. Walk the Pre-Primary wing, see the classrooms and play areas, and meet the teachers.
- Interaction. A short, friendly conversation with your child — oral for Playgroup and LKG, simple English and Maths for UKG. It is not an exam.
- Welcome. Seats are offered on seat availability, and the school tells you honestly if a class is full.
Documents for nursery admission
- An attested copy of the birth certificate issued by the Nagar Mahapalika
- A passport-size photograph of the child
That is all for Playgroup, LKG and UKG. Keep the originals handy for verification.
How to choose a nursery school in Lucknow
Lucknow has hundreds of play schools and nurseries. Five questions separate a good first school from a busy one:
- How many children share one teacher? Ask for the section size, not the school’s average. Scholars’ Home caps every section at 35.
- Play-way or early rote writing? Three-year-olds learn through blocks, beads, puppets, songs and phonics — not copying letters for an hour.
- Will my child have to change schools at five? Stand-alone play schools end at UKG, and Class I admission becomes a second hunt. A Playgroup-to-Class-XII school avoids that.
- How is spoken English built? Confidence to speak up is the single most useful thing a nursery gives a child.
- How far is it, really? Try the drive at 8 a.m. A nursery 10 minutes away beats a famous one 40 minutes away.
Pre-Primary at Scholars’ Home
Our Pre-Primary wing follows the play-way method of ‘Learning by Doing’: flash cards, picture charts, blocks, puzzles, finger puppets and beads; a structured phonics programme; songs, storytelling, role-play, dance, art and craft; and picnics and field trips. The emphasis is on self-confidence and the ability to speak freely in English.
After UKG, children move up on the same campus through Primary, Middle and Senior School to ICSE and ISC — a school that has been ranked the No. 1 ICSE school in Lucknow for seven years, with 100% board results in 2026.
