We enrolled our son here earlier this year, and the growth we have seen in him has been remarkable. His social skills have improved noticeably, and he constantly talks about his friends at school, which tells us he feels genuinely happy and comfortable there. One thing that has been a delightful surprise is his love for dance. The school has weekly dance sessions where the kids are taught a new song and routine regularly, and he now dances at home with so much enthusiasm. It is wonderful to see that kind of joy come out of him. The summer camp experience was fantastic. The kids were exposed to a variety of outdoor games and activities that kept them engaged, active, and excited. The science fair was another highlight where our son got to present on the solar system, a proud moment for us as parents. The curriculum also covered the life cycle of a plant and all its parts, which he came home talking about in detail. It is clear the teachers make learning interactive and memorable. The themed weeks are a great touch. Each week has a focus area, and the kids do art and craft activities around that theme. He always comes home with his artwork, which we love keeping. Story time and circle time are clearly favorites for him too, and we can see how these routines are building his listening and communication skills. What stands out just as much is the staff. Every single morning and evening, the teachers greet both the kids and the parents with warmth and genuine happiness. The energy they bring is infectious, and you can see it reflected in how cheerful the kids are. We never drop him off to a quiet or indifferent environment. It always feels welcoming. A special mention to the wonderful team of teachers, Aparna, Fatima, Hinal, Laxmi, Pooja, and Aamina, each of whom has contributed to making his time here so enriching and fun. We also want to highlight Teacher Ratna, who went above and beyond during what was a significant transition for our family. We are relocating back to our home country, and she handled the entire process with such grace and genuine care. She prorated our tuition without hesitation, prioritising our situation over any financial consideration, and was consistently supportive and understanding throughout. That kind of integrity and human touch is rare, and we are truly grateful. Communication from the school is excellent. We receive updates every other day on the WhatsApp group with photos and a rundown of what the kids have been up to. As parents, that kind of visibility and transparency means a lot. The progress report they shared gave us a clear picture of where he stands developmentally and what he has been working on, which we really appreciated. Overall, this has been one of the best decisions we made for our son. He is learning, growing, making friends, and most importantly, he loves going to school. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing, engaging, and communicative environment for their child. read more

Our son has been going to Young champions since last 1.5 years .we first met with Miss Ratna for a tour; her experience and professionalism made us feel comfortable right away. I'm pleased with their security and log in procedures. They really work hard to keep the kids occupied! We were more than impressed with their annual day program. read more

The decision to send our daughter to Young Champions was one of the best one. I feel blessed to have found Ms. Ratna and their team of amazing teachers who have put us at ease at every step of the our 1.5 year journey with Young Champions. The school has a really good curriculum with right balance of academics and extra-curricular activities. I have seen amazing progress in my daughter from the moment she joined the school. During the online classes for COVID, I have personally seen how the amazing teachers interact one-on-one with each child and make sure that learning is fun. The curriculum is well rounded and every topic is well covered. My daughter has done exceptionally well in her assesments while applying for schools this year and the whole credit goes to Young Champions. That's the kind of confidence, education they instill in their students. I can surely say that this school's USP is Ms.Ratna, amazing staff and the fun learning ambience they create at school. Ms. Ratna is very knowledgeable, helpful, caring, reachable and understanding. She leads the school with amazing positivity. She is amazing at communicating with parents. Very easy to talk to and is ready to help always. You can reach her anytime for any issue/concern/information and she will get back to you promptly. She shares all the pictures, special videos of the kids which keeps us up-to-date on what the kid is learning. I can't thank her enough for creating this nurturing environment. Really well qualified staff with a good heart.I have to give a special shout out to Ms.Ekta who is my daughter's favorite. The monthly themes, the holiday/festival celebrations, the show and tells every Friday, poster presentations, Science fair ensures overall development of the child and brings out the personality. With their truly amazing care, homely nutritious food, there is nothing a parent needs to worry about. I would recommend this school hands down to anyone looking to enroll their kid. This is the environment the kids needs to have where learning/growing up is fun. read more

It's been exactly a year since we sent our, then 2.5year old kid here and it's been an amazing experience despite all the covid restrictions and concerns we had to begin with. Ms. Ratna is an absolute rockstar in what she does and leads the center with ease and grace. Always having an open ear, she gives us the comfort to msg/call her anytime and gets back to us at the earliest. From potty training to education, the center is always flexible to each child needs and that is something unique I have found here from the others where centers are generally pretty strict about their rules. The activities especially the summer activities have been great for the kids - bubbles, farm animals, magic shows, etc. The monthly themes are also well designed to help the kid explore the curiosity in different things. We could see the development in my child clearly since we sent him to young champions and would definitely believe that the center had a huge role in it. Highly recommend for everyone. read more

I love this place and so does my child. As parents I deeply appreciate the staff being nice and caring, and the Director of Young Champion, Ms. Ratna really cares about the children. Ever since enrolling my daughter I've seen many improvements. This place is great. When I was searching for a preschool, I came across this preschool, which stood out to me for it's private like setting and warm environment. It's been over 6 month since my three year old daughter has been attending this preschool and I've already observed improvements in her writing and basic math skills. I'd like to thank the entire staff and I would recommend this preschool to other parents. They provide fresh and healthy food. My daughter really gets excited each day to have an awesome lunch with her friend. what more a mom can ask for!!! If I could give this school 10 stars I would!! Happy to say that your little one will be in secure and safe hands! read more

I really appreciate Dr. Ratna who owns YC and takes good care of children with great sense of responsibility and ownership in building our kids future in all aspects. Thanks to all Young Champion Team. read more

Another happy parent of a ward that's been going to Young Champions here! Consider this review a public vote of thanks for the amazing work being done by the Young Champions team. One excellent thing about YC is the multifaceted approach they take to educate kids. My kid one day comes home with a splendid piece of painting work, another day he's dancing to Bollywood tunes! Rest assured that your kid will learn to do reading, writing and math, and might also throw surprises like pulling off magic tricks after a few weeks of being here! This place checks several boxes when it comes to deciding a day care for my toddler, all the more so due to being Desi. I only hope YC spreads far and wide, and makes more parents smile and be at peace that their kid is in safe hands. read more

Great preschool at our area. My son had been going to this preschool for more than a year now... and it has been great. He started right after the pandemic restrictions were lifted and we haven't looked back. They treat the students with care and help them in developing both mentally and socially. This was especially important to us since the pandemic kids had started developing social anxiety due to the lockdown. However, my kid and most his other peers from the school are doing pretty well. Thanks to Ms. Ratna and the other teachers. read more

My son has been going here for last two years. We are extremely happy with the care, guidance and support provided by Ms. Ratna. My son has had huge improvements in his behavior and academic skills. My son was a picky eater but Ms. Ratna helped him try different food. They have monthly presentation by kids to improve public speaking. I am thankful to Ms. Ratna, Ms. Aparna and rest of the Young Campions team. read more

Our now 6 yr old son started going to Young Champions since he was 2.5 yr old and went till 5.5 yr old as we decided to keep him for KG program with COVID cases were still going high during that time. This review is overdue and can't feel lucky enough to find this place for my son's early years and the program was wonderful right from academics, extra curricular activities, food, celebrations, annual programs and at the end the warmth that Ms Ratna shows towards her kids and everyone around My son enjoyed going to the school every morning. That in itself speaks a lot about the school and its teachers. The school Director, Ms Ratna is the reason I instantly chose this place when I first went to see the facility. She is a warm person and had a positive vibe in her, she is soo fond of her kids at the school, and is passionate about what she does and I could figure that she puts in a lot of effort to have the best of the activities and things at her school. She is absolutely fabulous and very approachable and most importantly she knows what's the best for kids. Secondly, they provide fresh cooked healthy meals(Vegetarian)and snacks and follow the allergies policies strictly and there was my instant Yes, as we were very particular about what our kid will eat at the school. Young Champions is like second home for kids I like the way the kids are welcomed into school every day and how enthusiastic they are at the end of day. My son loves spending time there sometimes he doesn't want to leave the school even though I pick him up soo late from there..:) We love love love this school for many more reasons, all the teachers are soo nice, friendly and always with a smile and they all will give you the correct feedback of your child and that helps you understand how your kid is doing. The activities they do for kids at this age is mind blowing, they have music class that helps introduce kids to the various musical instruments, dance class where kids perform at the end of 3-4 months period. It was amazing to see all these around 3 yr old kids perform at the annual function the school had put together. Many other daily arts and crafts and academic activities where kids learn a lot of things daily. That's the other aspect, Ms Ratna had booked a theatre just for her kids to perform at the Annual program and we really appreciate that. Loved the annual Program that the teachers and herself had put together. Also the summer program for the kids is very exciting and well planned. We definitely recommend Young Champions. read more

My daughter started going to Young Champions since last December . She transitioned from home based day care to this pre school , Young Champions . Most welcoming part on the first day of the tour was Ms. Ratna , Director of the school with amazing personality , very welcoming and easily approachable . All my concerns were cleared during the first week itself and was very satisfied about where my daughter is going to grow , learn , eat and spend time for most part of the day when we are away . Most impressive part of this school is how well the school plans academic learning skills for a child based on their age which includes reading , writing , learning , public speech , crafts in most enjoyable ways . At the same time also concentrating on other activities like music , singing and dancing .All the teachers are very friendly and give enough attention to every single kid in their class . With in six months i know what my daughter is mostly interested in and how she progressed in what ever she was taught , believe it was always upward graph . She's also improved in her communication , making new friends and starts a conversation on just anything she see's and touch's . Not forgetting to mention the summer activities every week for the full season are so awesome that even i am excited along with my kid for the new experiences she is going to have and new things she is going to learn !! Loved it so much that i try to refer this school to anyone who i see is looking for a good pre school or not satisfied where their kids are going now . read more

My son has been going there since 2 years (he is 4 now). Ms Ratna is outstanding and her staff/all teachers are amazing as well. Curriculum for all ages is great, and the teachers are very hands on focusing on each child individually whenever needed. Along with pre school syllabus they also focus on overall development like leadership and public speaking. Their summer program is really good - STEM activities, petting zoos, bubble fun and different activities with weekly theme. Ms Ratna is always available to answer any questions and provide guidance. We are extremely happy with our son's progress and highly recommend Young Champions. read more

We got a recommendation to send our daughter to Young Champions and we are glad we took that decision. Our kid has been going from past 1 year. Ms. Ratna and all other teachers are very caring and understanding. Their teaching methods are great. Our daughter has learnt a lot during her time at Young Champions. Ms. Ratna is very understanding and a lively person. She perfectly knows how to handle kids. Their events for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines day are great. They hold show and tell, and poster presentation/science fair. This is a very good way to learn public speaking. Thanks to Miss Ratna & all her staff for taking such good care of kids. I would highly recommend to enroll your kid to Young Champions. read more

There are a lot of extracurricular and educational activities. The teachers are caring and fun. I appreciate that they also serve healthy and yummy meals/snacks. read more

This is a very late review but want to share our experience. I can't say enough about Young Champions. Ms. Ratna and her staff is very professional and caring. It's like one stop shop for parents because along with homework help we were able to enroll kids for extra curricular activities such as Robotics, Chess, Dance classes and many more. My daughter started her journey there when she was in TK. She used to love going to Young Champions and her teachers. I have seen her development during her two years of tenure and we are more than satisfied. Their events were full of fun. We had to say good bye in August Last year due to moving to another location. My daughter still insist to move back so she can go to Young Champions. Thank you for your care and support! I would recommend Young Champions with five stars. read more

My son has been going to Young Champions for the last 5 months. He used to go to a home based daycare before, this is the first pre-school he has been in. At first, I was worried about how he will adjust from a home based setting to a preschool. But within 2 weeks my son got adjusted, thanks to Ms Ratna and all the loving teachers. Ms Ratna is very friendly and welcoming. She takes time out to talk to every parent to tell how their kids are doing, how was their day, what their kid has been up to and communicates everything on a timely manner. The preschool atmosphere is very friendly and loving. I also see all the kids giving lots of love and caring for each other. This made it very easy for him to make new friends and feel at home. He likes to discuss about his day at school, looks forward to meeting his friends and enjoys his day to day activities. This shows he really likes to spend time in preschool and all of this also indicates he is cared well at school. My son has evolved a lot since he has joined Young Champions. He was 2 years old when he joined and knew around 10-15 words, now he can express himself well, can combine 2-3 words to form short sentences. All of their learnings happen in a very playful environment without putting any stress on the kids. Its a very open and free environment. They provide fresh vegetarian lunch, AM/PM snacks and milk everyday. I used to be worried if he would eat well at preschool and I had specially asked Ms. Ratna to make sure he eats well. Till today I have never felt that my son has not had enough lunch/snacks at preschool. I never have to give anything extra to supplement his diet. They take the effort to celebrate all occasions, celebrating it in such a way that kids enjoy and also learn something from it. For example they celebrated Valentine day with kids showing love and affection towards each other, sharing small gifts with their friends. For Earth day, kids sowed seeds and saw the plant grow which they were allowed to carry home, science fair where older kids made creative projects and were showcased on the science day. Apart from learning, they also make kids have fun through a variety of summer activities, annual gathering, optional music and dance lessons which kids can enroll in, field trips to name a few. For my son, Young Champions is like a second home and for us a reliable place where we can leave our son from morning to evening while my husband and I can focus on our work. I'm sure my son will keep evolving very well as he is doing now. I recommend Young Champions to anyone who is looking for a preschool. read more

Our son has been going to Young Champions since a year and he totally loves it there. Ms Ratna and Ms Ekta are wonderful with kids. Ms Ratna planned various events for the kids like - puppet show, meet the farm animals, etc throughout the summer, Diwali and holiday party shows, Dr Seuss birthday week, show-and-tell, etc. There is a good balance between play-based learning and dedicated time for worksheets - English/Math, both of which our kid enjoys a lot. They also had science fair where kids did poster presentations. Overall, the best thing about Young Champions is that my kid is excited to go everyday and has made great friends. read more

I don't know where to start from but the Owner of this school Mrs.Ratna is the One Main reason for all the 5 stars . This is not just a business for her this preschool is heart and soul for her , she takes personal interest in every single child for their growth not just academic but at all social levels . If you are looking for a good pre-school don't waste your time go straight to Young Champions. Once you meet the Owner you will immediately realize your kid is in very very Good hands .... GBU Ratna for taking such good care for our kids read more

We had great experience with young champions. I see lot of improvement in my child reading and writing skills.

My kids started going to YC when they were 2 years old, during pandemic and this was their first time going to a preschool. Transition was very smooth and Ms. Ratna is very caring and promptly answered all my questions. She is very honest in sharing feedback and keeps parents up-to-date about kids. All the teachers are great and my kids loved going to preschool everyday. They have dance class and great summer camp programs for kids to learn and enjoy. We miss YC and team! read more

When joining our 3 year old who got back from India after over an year, we picked Young Explorers based on our gut instinct and the yelp reviews and we have no regrets.The transition was surprisingly smooth thanks to Ms Ratna and the very friendly n attentive teachers. Ratna shared us videos of our little one performing and enjoying the school until we were comfortable and we still continue to get the feedback. I like the way the kids are welcomed into school every day and they are equally enthusiastic at the end of each day. Its a great team and the exciting well planned activities(cultural day, Halloween parade etc), constant communication, hot home cooked meals are all big plus.I recommend this school to any parents who are anxiously looking for a preschool. read more

I am so glad I decided to enroll my child in young champions. Since day one, my child has shown significant improvements in various skills.

My son started to go to this preschool since the past 4 months and we are extremely happy with the care and support provided by the staff here. I can see a lot of changes in my son during this short duration. His communication skills have improved and lot and there is a very positive change in his behavior as well. Ms. Ratna and the other teachers are very caring and make sure that they communicate the progress of the children on a frequent basis. There is a very good balance between discipline and fun and between academics and play. We strongly believe that this balance is very crucial for the kids in the preschool age group. They require a lot of love and care and at the same time they need to keep learning new skills. This is planned well at Young Champions. We also love their cultural activities. The Halloween parade, outings and winter concerts are really fun for both kids and parents. The facility is maintained very well and the place is always very clean and hygienic. The food that they provide is fresh and warm and my son loves it. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a preschool that has a good balance of academics and fun activities. read more

What a great place for kids to make their start!My Son Started with Young Champions at ~3 years and he is so excited to go to school everyday. He goes there with happiness and comes back with a big smile on his face, everyday! What else can you ask for as a parent! At Young Champions,focus is not only on academics but also on practical life. They help kids developed a very strong and independent personality with abundance of knowledge. Kids do some or the other activities every day. Kids are taught using fun activities like art & craft, painting, dance and music, since expirements. They send us the updates, pics, videos etc as well. They serve nutritious fresh food. The work all the teacher's put behind kids doesn't at all go unnoticed .. I want to express my heartfelt of gratitude to the entire Young Champions team, especially Ms.Ratna and Ms.Aparna for working honestly and authentically. My personal interaction with Ms.Ratna has always been very friendly. She is very hardworking, dedicated and loving personality with positive attitude. we truly appreciate all the hard work and efforts which the teacher's put on the kids We highly recommend Young Champions. read more

We love Young Champions. The teachers are amazing. My daughter goes to this school for more than a year now. She enjoys going to the school and loves being there. Ms Ratna who is the Director is absolutely amazing and very approachable. She always listens and acts to whatever issues or concerns you may have. They have a good curriculum. So kids actually learn to read write and also develop in other extra curricular activities. They also have other classes like dance,music,chess etc so you can just enroll your child in it They take care of kids well and I have seen there is always a personal touch with each kid they are taking care of. I will recommend this school. read more

Still, love the school and teachers - updating it as the school's name is not Young Explorers but Young Champions. Would refer Young Champions for both after-school and pre-school, Thanks to hands on Director - Ms. Ratna. read more

This facility is completely unprofessional, rude and head does not like candid feedback about cleanliness and maintenance. Though it claims a low cost after school, there are a lot of hidden charges. I hope the facility change theiattitude after this review. What a stupid response from the owner of this facility, lol. Guys, BEWARE of this facility, if you are sending your child, they are definitely not safe, just ask your child how are they treated everyday. If you are planning to send your child to this facility then talk to the teachers who gets replaced every second month. I always hear complaints about this facility from others as well. horrible facility guys. read more

I rarely write a review but I can't miss writing a review about this preschool because it's just awesome. Director Ms. Ratna is great to work with. When I took a tour, I had just gone to explore since this pre-school was in close proximity from our home but the moment I spoke to Ms. Ratna, she made me feel very comfortable by providing solutions for all of our dietary restriction. This preschool is also equally good when it comes to academics. My daughter learned all alphabet sounds in 2 months of joining. They also have activities like Yoga, Music, Public speaking, Show & tell etc. Its a perfect blend of learning along with fun. read more

I found Young Champions opportunistically when i was looking for daycare for my 19 month old daughter. 2 years later I have to say it was a good decision. The teachers are caring and the curriculum is all rounded. My daughter knows basic math and alphabets and she did not feel like she was studying. Another good indicator was that for the last two years my daughter looked forward to going to school. i would strongly recommend this place to parents looking for child care till kindergarten. read more

Our daughter has been going to Young Champions for little over 2 years now and we are very happy with the progress she has made. She went from home day care to Young champions and the transition was challenging at first. The school director, Ms Ratna and the other teachers were incredibly supportive and took very good care of her. At young champions, they have multiple activities for the kids (bollywood dancing, show and tell, zumba, robotics etc) which keep them occupied and entertained throughout the day. They prepare the kids for Elementary school and we get a worksheet every week which shows how our daughter is progressing. They provide good healthy food (Vegetarian) and snacks during the day. One of the best things about the school is Ms Ratna. I think in the last 2 years, there has not been one day that she is not there in the morning and everyday she has a big smile on her face and greets the kids and parents with enthusiasm. Her enthusiasm and dedication makes Young Champions a second home for the kids. read more

The teaching staff and their curriculum is okay, but the location of this preschool is a major disappointment - it's right next to a dumpster, so hygiene is questionable. Not their fault, but something that can't be ignored. It's not a pleasant feeling to drop your kid in the morning while the area is stinking. You just hope in the morning that the garbage truck picks up the trash as soon as possible so that your kid doesn't have to smell trash all day. read more

My son and My daughter like the teachers and friends so much. They are learning a lot from there.

My son has been going to Young Champions since he was 3.I like their strategic way of teaching the kids.He has learned a lot in this school.My son always urges to go to Young Champions.The teachers are very supportive and caring.This school provides supportive and positive environment for children.The director Ms.Ratna has a keen sense of understanding towards children's personalities even when there are language barriers.We will miss this school a lot as we will be moving to another place. read more
