Playgroup
Around 1.5 – 2.5 years
First steps away from home, taken gently. Sensory play, songs, movement, and lots of individual attention in a small, calm group.
Admissions
Preschool admissions in Madeenaguda, made clear.
Admissions at Arkley Schools in Madeenaguda run from Playgroup, at around 1.5 years, through Nursery, LKG, UKG and Grade 2. Visit the school, talk with our team, and decide together whether Arkley is the right fit for your child.
How It Works
Three steps to a good beginning.
-
Book a visit
Walk through the classrooms and garden, meet our educators, and see how the day feels. Bring your child and take the time to ask every question.
-
Meet and talk
Tell us about your child, their routines, and what matters to your family. We will explain the program, daily care, and next steps clearly.
-
Enrol and settle in
Once you choose a place, we plan a gentle start around your child. Familiar faces, clear communication, and a settling-in rhythm help the first days feel secure.
Programs & Age Groups
A place for every stage.
Arkley currently welcomes children from playgroup through Grade 2 at our Madeenaguda, Hyderabad school. We will help you understand the right starting point for your child, the daily rhythm, and what to expect during the first weeks. School activities, from yoga and dance to abacus and chess, are part of the experience across the grades. If you are deciding between stages, compare Playgroup and Nursery or read our guide to LKG, UKG, PP1 and PP2.
Nursery
Around 2.5 – 3.5 years
Language blossoms and independence takes root. Practical life work, early materials, storytelling, and daily time outdoors.
LKG / PP1
Around 3.5 – 4.5 years
Deeper concentration and early literacy and numeracy through hands-on materials, projects, and rich conversation.
UKG / PP2
Around 4.5 – 5.5 years
A confident bridge to formal school: reading, writing, and number work grounded in understanding, alongside leadership of the younger children.
Grade 1
Primary years
Classroom learning builds on the early years. Children continue with reading, writing, and number work, taught with the same calm, hands-on approach.
Grade 2
Primary years
Our highest grade at present. Steady routines, meaningful practice, and close attention to each child as their confidence and independence grow.

Admission Questions
Ages, fees, and how to start.
What age can my child start at Arkley?
Our stages run by approximate age rather than a hard cut-off: Playgroup, around 1.5 – 2.5 years; Nursery, around 2.5 – 3.5 years; LKG / PP1, around 3.5 – 4.5 years; UKG / PP2, around 4.5 – 5.5 years; Grade 1, primary years; Grade 2, primary years. Grade 1 and Grade 2 follow in the primary years. Children develop at different rates, so if your child sits near a boundary we will talk it through with you rather than going by the date alone.
Which grades does Arkley currently offer?
Playgroup, Nursery, LKG / PP1, UKG / PP2, Grade 1, and Grade 2. Grade 2 is the highest grade we offer today, and the school is designed to extend further into the primary years as our children grow.
What are the fees?
We share the current fee structure directly with families when you visit or send an enquiry, so we can explain exactly what it covers for your child’s stage. It is one of the things we make sure you leave a visit knowing.
How do I apply for admission?
There are three steps: book a visit and walk through the classrooms, meet and talk with us about your child, then enrol and settle in with a gentle start planned around them. There is no application to fill in before you have seen the school.
Do we have to visit before enrolling?
We strongly encourage it. A school is difficult to judge from a website, and a normal morning tells you more than any brochure. Visits are by appointment so we can give your family our full attention.
Where is the school?
Arkley Schools is on Manjeera Pipeline Road in Madeenaguda, Hyderabad, beside Vijetha Super Market. Families travel to us from Hafeezpet, Miyapur, Bachupally, Chandanagar, Nizampet, and Serilingampally.
Coming from further out? There are pages for families in Hafeezpet, Miyapur, Chandanagar, and Bachupally, plus a summary of the neighbourhoods we serve.
Ready to take the next step?
