Building Skills That Last a Lifetime
My son is taking drawing classes from Mrs.Dhanashree and Mrs.Aparna and I have noticed a significant improvement in his writing, fine motor and his newfound love for colours. The hands-on approach and clear guidance not only made the subject engaging but also has boosted his confidence in writing and colouring. Their teaching methods , creative ideas and drawing materials are simple yet effective. Thank you for your dedication, creativity, and for fostering such a positive and supportive learning environment for my son.
Aster Kids was referred to me by one of the parents for my son’s schooling, and I am extremely pleased with the service and the way Dhanashree and Aparna Ma'am's work. They consistently provide feedback after school and guide us on how we can support his learning at home. The variety of activities and teaching aids keeps the students engaged and actively learning. I truly appreciate how equipment is used to explain concepts clearly and effectively. Over the past seven months, my son has learned many new things and is improving day by day. The teachers are very cooperative, supportive, and child friendly. Overall, it has been a great experience, and I am very satisfied with the work ethics. The school has a positive and inclusive environment that strongly supports learning and overall child development. I would definitely recommend Aster Kids
Dhanashree ma’am has been working with my son from past 3 years. Her zeal to make him learn new things is umatchable.Her holistic approach is what made things work for us. Be it activities of daily living, art-craft, yoga, play, speech, social skills or academics. She worked on every aspect with my son. The level of dedication, the love and affection with which she handles my son is what made him connect with her in the first place. Forever grateful for the guidance and support she extends to the family.
Dhanashree and her Team at Aster Kids does an exceptional job in curating the right learning plans for kids based on each kid's interest and aptitude. The team takes particular care of the individual needs of each kid patiently working through all the challenges to bring out the best in each child. Their structured rigor with a flexible approach has worked wonders for our child. Over the years, we've seen our daughter pick new skills and sharpen the existing skills she started with. We’re extremely happy with the progress she has made and wholeheartedly recommend Dhanashree and her team.
