To love to learn is the most precious gift that one can give to a child: to love to learn always and everywhere, so that all circumstances, all happenings in life may be constantly renewed opportunities for learning more and always more.

Genesis
Arun Nursery School opened its doors on September 04, 1972 with The Mother's Blessings. The pre-school owes its existence to the singular effort of Shri Arun Tagore. Hence the Mother named the School after Arun da.
The School
The school which started with 3 children and an equal number of teachers at Lakshmi's House opened a new campus in 2013 at 110, Satindra Pally, Garia off Boral Main Road. Both campus have identical principles, objectives and methodology.
Admissions
Admissions happen mainly in Toddlers and Nursery. For KG and Senior KG it is strictly against vacancies.
Theme Teaching
Arun Nursery School has embraced the concept of 'Theme Teaching'. Learning and social skills, as well as important concepts, are developed in children through this approach.
It has been found that the children who have been exposed to this method of teaching have developed greater self-confidence, awareness, thinking skills and learning readiness.
This approach emphasises Concept over Content and helps the child develop a holistic outlook towards life.
Physical Education
All education of the body should begin at birth and continue throughout life. It is never too soon to begin nor too late to continue..
