Choosing a play school in Shimla
Pre-primary is the one stage where distance beats prestige. A three-year-old spending forty minutes each way in a van loses more than they gain from a better-known name, which is why parents in Shimla usually shortlist within a few kilometres of home first and compare from there.

Does the board matter at this age?
Less than continuity does. 4 CBSE of these schools carry the child right through to senior school, so a play-school seat there is effectively an entry point rather than a two-year arrangement — worth weighing if you would rather not repeat the admission process at Class 1.

What to check on a campus visit
Visit before you pay. Ask how many children share one adult, where they nap, how washroom help is handled and what happens on a day your child is unwell. Those answers separate schools far more reliably than a brochure does. The nursery admission process page covers dates and documents.
