“ONE OF THE BEST PLAY SCHOOLS AT MANAPAKKAM! There is NO second thought of joining your little one at First School. Every teacher and staff member is so kind and caring. Team work of teachers and staffs are awesome. Really appreciate their patience level towards tiny ones. My son won't speak and had no eye contact with people; after joining First School I can see lot of response and eye contact with him now. Felt so positive. Thank you so much for an incredible experience!”
