The school provides a comprehensive learning ecosystem that includes the Adult Child Programme, academic programmes from Playgroup to Grade 5, Day Care, and an Enrichment Centre.

What Parents Say About Us

It was love at first sight for us when we first visited La Joie. Our love has only grown in the last two academic sessions. From teaching methodology to child centric approach, La Joie puts all efforts to make sure your child is growing at every step. Bonus points for clean and hygienic environment and kindness from everyone. Special mention for Pallavi Ma'am, Gaurvi Ma'am and Akanksha Ma'am for being our daughter's first teachers, guide, mentor and friend.

I was extremely apprehensive about sending my daughter to preschool after prolonged social isolation due to pandemic. However I could not have chosen a better first school for her than La Joie. The individual attention given to each child is unparalleled. Parent-teacher communication is excellent. Children are loved and cared for very well. Of course the infrastructure, the Montessori teaching material and learning methods are fantastic. The school is clean, hygienic and very safe with child proofing and cameras. I’m especially thankful for the love and attention that teachers and entire staff of La Joie gave her to help her settle. She is a sensitive child and everyone at the school was attuned to her needs. She misses everyone and looks at pictures often. La Joie sets high standards of care for children.

Our daughter Anaika Narula has been in La joie since she was 24 months old. We feel extremely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of teachers and staff. She receives an individual attention and the teachers too take special interest in her and other students . We saw that change in her independence and confidence and we are delighted to see how children are embraced, nurtured and supported by teachers . When we drop her at school there is no worry on our part . Everyday there is a new activity like music, dance , play etc which makes her feel more social and educated each day. I , endorse la joie strongly as we are confident that with great faculty our child will excel both academically and personally. Tushar Narula & Jyoti Anand Narula

My daughter was in La joie for 2 years ( playgroup and pre-nursery) and we are highly satisfied with the way school took care of her. It provided a safe environment for our child which was a priority for us. She was groomed very well for formal school. My daughter cleared La martiniere interview without any coaching / evening classes. Everyday she came back from school, she came back happy and that made our day. Each and every festival is celebrated so nicely and all the activities are planned immaculately. Thank you Aakshi mam, Rohan sir, Neelam mam, Meenakshi mam, Zainab mam, Firdaus mam, Manisha mam, Roopali mam and the entire La Joie team for nurturing my child and bringing out her innate qualities.
