Challenges such as low initial admissions, stiff local competition, recruiting and retaining trained teachers, dealing with parent expectations, as well as ensuring quality in operations are common.
The low admissions can be addressed by effective local marketing, demo classes, parent engagement activities, and referral programs. Most franchises also contribute towards promotional efforts to enhance enrollments.
The recovery is based on location, marketing, and the quality of operations. The average preschools break even after 1.5-3 years. Branding and admissions should be constantly implemented to achieve returns.

Some of the big causes are incorrect choice of locations, no effort in marketing, bad management, untrained employees and inability to uphold quality.

The medium of instruction at Makoons is English.
The languages taught and spoken are English, along with Hindi/Regional language to make the children feel comfortable and enable them to communicate with ease both at school, at home, and elsewhere.
We follow the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) approach, monitoring the child’s growth and progress daily. The child’s performance is evaluated in seven areas of development: cognitive development, fine motor development, gross motor development, language development, socio-emotional development, personal awareness, and individual potential.
Yes, Makoons has separate uniforms for summers and winters.
Makoons schools offering daycare facilities provide mid-day meals with proper nutrition for kids. Nutrition content, dining hall availability, and proper hygiene are particularly taken care of in the schools providing this facility.
Almost every school under the Makoons umbrella provides the facility of transporting children safely to their place. Concerning the safety of the children, we have a school worker present in every vehicle carrying children to their place. These facilities also vary according to the location of the school.
Look at and research your schools, and make reasonable budgets in your area. If the parent is aware of the improved safety, quality of teaching, quality of learning and teacher attention, then it is likely that they will pay more for it.
Define deadlines in advance, make friendly reminders and provide electronic payment means. Being professional and friendly is better than being aggressive and demanding follow up.
Over-spending on glamorous interior, events, printy marketing and everything else. Funding for teacher quality and admissions tend to produce more bang for your buck.
Yes, but don't use it too much. Small discounts can easily attract families, but too big will quickly bring down the profits. Most parents are quite happy with 5 – 10 % as the amount.
The typical monthly marketing spending for most small preschools is 5-10% of monthly revenue. This might need to be increased during the admissions season.
Offer additional services including day care, activity classes, summer camp and transport. Parents might decide it's easier and beneficial to them with an extra cost.
In general, teachers' salaries in Tier-2 cities depend on their experience and communication ability. Stable staffing and classroom stability and fair compensation.
Listen, investigate and discuss with the teacher in private. Avoid blaming any individual in front of others – but have a discussion about the problem professionally.
Not always. But there's no denying that a good teacher, who understands how to run a class and is aware of childhood, can do wonders, as well.
Be respectful, communicate, show appreciation and not use fear as a management tactic. Happy teachers, happy class.
Contains fire extinguishers, emergency exits, smoke alarms and some basic evacuation plans. Staff to be knowledgeable of emergency procedures to deal with calmly.
Immediately give first aid, be forthright with parents, and document the incident appropriately. One of the ways we can maintain trust with families is by being transparent.
Be succinct, simple and practical. Emphasize collecting routines, emergency protocols, hygiene and duties of staff and cctv.
Parents value the use of CCTV as a means to keeping them safe and transparent. There should be a focus on the classroom and common areas rather than children's privacy, with the camera.
Talk about the strengths and any areas for improvement of the child. If teachers provide support, they are not too critical, parents will be more accepting of the teachers.
Listen attentively and establish boundaries to your professional life. It is parents' thoughts that are heard, not the day to day management of the classroom.
Provide information and notices, and mostly communicate events, through the group. Don't unnecessarily go through the motions of discussing and developing group rules at the start.
The fact that children look happy, room is clean, teacher conduct and safety is ensured are more important than expensive interiors.
Instead of being overly promotional, the real classroom moments, videos of the activities, parent testimonials, celebrations and interactions with teachers tend to fare better.
Request happy parents peacefully following positive experiences. Good service and communication generally result in positive feedback.
Write a courteous thank you note and respond to any reservations they may have, then re-invite them. Don't sound desperate or pushy.
Yes. Parents are given the opportunity to view teacher interaction, classroom environment and how their child feels comfortable before enrolling yourself in a demo class.
These typically include moving, issues of finances, communication, and/or poor teaching and engagement of children.
Host local events, referral programs, summer and winter camps and offer admission for a limited time to ensure inquiries throughout quieter periods of the year.
Talk about what kind of teacher, safety, curriculum, and child attention you have in your own classroom as opposed to criticizing other schools.
Become a systems, marketing and parent experience designer. Trust and positive word of mouth takes time to develop with most of the preschools.
They spend a lot of time and effort on parent relationships, consistency, local marketing and a good reputation rather than on getting quick profits.
Establish clear boundaries around the work, delegate, and not do everything personally 100% of the time.
