IMPORTANCE OF EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES



The Nest Group of Schools is Gurgaon's fastest growing chain of preschools. Hundreds of children who have been a part of our school, are growing into talented and proficient individuals. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that the curriculum of Nest School provides all round development of students. While academic achievements are central to one's education, extracurricular activities also play a major role in personality development. The Nest Preschool offers a variety of activities that include festival and birthday celebrations, picnics and summer camps, role plays, singing and poetry competitions etc.


One of the main reasons for incorporating activities in the school curriculum is that it leads to identification and recognition of a child's talents. In a restrictive home environment, a child may not be able to give expression to his genius or caliber. A school helps to channel this energy in the right direction. Also, extracurricular activities enable character development coupled with intellectual, social and mental well-being.


Working as a team in sports, cultural programs and competitions, young children learn cooperation, compromise and commitment. They develop a positive attitude, integrity, self-control and a spirit of competitiveness.  Leadership skills come forth and a student’s aptitude, expertise and particular activity adeptness can be determined.


As a parent, it is one's responsibility to encourage children to be a part of school activities. Find out which activities your child enjoys and help them explore new ones. A discussion with the school staff should be undertaken to inform them about a child's limitations and interests. It is essential for the child to enjoy what he is doing, as extracurricular activities build confidence and shape the personality.


The Nest Group of Schools, Gurgaon'stop preschool chain, recognizes the importance of activities. Our board of directors keep in touch with international trends to bring innovations in the school. We try to stay abreast with the latest things that catch the children's fancy. Our aim is to groom and teach students who work to the best of their ability, make informed choices and grow up to be successful individuals.

Nest School Goes hi-tech

For a parent, nothing is more precious than her child, and for us at the Nest, nothing is more important than our children’s safety. 



Nest preschool is the fastest growing chain of premium schools in Gurgaon and we believe in leaving no stone unturned to make it the best, safest and the most unique experience for your child, standing on a new threshold of life. 

To maintain constant line of communication with parents, Nest school has innovatively employed a strong social media presence at all our branches. Use of technology facilitates parent-teacher correspondence regarding a child’s progress and activities in school. 

A new mobile app that can be downloaded on parents smartphones would update them on the latest activities and events in the school. 

Live streaming of classrooms and events on mobile phones is another notable detail that sets us apart from the rest. This will allow parents to look at kids activities from the comfort of home and office. Our transport vehicles are fully equipped with GPS systems to safeguard our wards on their journey to school and back home. This initiative will help parents to plan the drop and pick up of their child. This application will help in checking the movement (running or stationary), speed of the vehicle along with stopping the vehicle remotely, if required.

For us, keeping our children safe first, is keeping them safe forever!

Tree Plantation Drive by Nest Group of Schools


The Nest Group of schools organized Sheetla Van Mahotsav, on 13th August at the Dispensary, Palam Vihar in Gurgaon. The Nest Preschool trains students to be environmentally conscious, and to take care of Mother Earth. Our gift to future generations- a greener Earth! And that is why our students planted 22 guava trees, along with their own name on each tree. The trees have been surrounded with fencing for protection. The students have taken the responsibility of taking care of the plants and watering them periodically.



Educationist Shri P. N. Mongia, President of Senior Citizens Federation, Gurgaon and Er. H.C. Khurana, President, Senior Citizens Forum, Palam Vihar, were our chief guests at the tree plantation and environmental awareness dry and lauded the efforts of our little children. Shri Parminder Kataria, (Mera Pyara Gurgaon), kindly presided over the event.  The trees were planted by our little ones, with their little hands. The Nest School encourages their students to be responsible citizens. Since it is never too early to learn good habits, we teach Nestians to give something back to the society. Trees remove carbon dioxide and other pollutants from the atmosphere, planting more trees would mean a greener, cleaner, healthier Gurgaon. Nestians are taught to respect the environment and take care of our planet.

About one hundred people gathered together to make this event a success. Our special thanks to all the parents and grandparents who came with their children to be a part of our initiative. Their appreciation and attendance gave The Nest Group of Schools and their staff, encouragement, to stride ahead with more perseverance and sincerity.

The Nest Group of Schools is dedicated to social causes as much as it is, to child education. Teaching children young, goes a long way, as they carry this legacy of protecting and nurturing the earth, throughout their lives. In future also, The Nest School will dedicatedly work towards causes of greater good and welfare of all!
