Helping your child build the attention, motor, social, and language skills they need for a confident start to nursery or primary school.
Parents often ask: Is my child ready for nursery or Grade 1? School readiness isn't just about academics — it's the combination of attention, fine motor skills, social interaction, emotional regulation, and communication that lets a child participate in a classroom.
Hope CDC's school readiness programme in Pune assesses these foundations and provides targeted support through occupational therapy, speech therapy, and remedial education — at Kharadi and Dhanori.
Whether your child is starting nursery next year or struggling in their first term, early support prevents frustration and builds confidence before gaps widen.

Children who start school without foundational skills often get labelled as disruptive, inattentive, or unmotivated — when they simply weren't ready yet. A few months of targeted therapy can change that trajectory entirely.
We focus on practical classroom skills: sitting, listening, holding a pencil, asking for help, and playing cooperatively — so your child's first school experience is positive, not overwhelming.
We evaluate attention, motor, language, social, and self-care skills against age expectations.
OT, speech, or remedial sessions targeting your child's specific gaps.
Pencil control, cutting, packing bags, toilet independence, and routine-following.
What to practise at home and how to communicate with your child's nursery or school.
Tell us your concern and your child's age. Our specialists will guide you at Kharadi or Dhanori.
