Children learn by doing
Activity-based learning, a Montessori Lab and a week full of movement, stories, rhymes and dance. The early years are for exploring, and understanding follows naturally.
About the centre
About Discover First Step DLF Phase 3: Preschool in Sector 24, Gurugram
A neighbourhood preschool and day care centre with the backing of the Discover First Step network, built for families who live and work around DLF Phase 3.
This centre
Discover First Step Pre-School & Day Care — DLF Phase 3 is a preschool, play school and day care centre in Sector 24, Gurugram. It serves families in DLF Phase 3 and the neighbourhoods around it, from Nathupur and Sector 25 to the offices of DLF Cyber City, Cyber Hub and Udyog Vihar.
Under one roof, the centre offers Play Group, Pre-Nursery, Nursery, LKG and UKG, along with Grade 1 and Grade 2, a day care and creche for children from six months to ten years, and after-school care and activities. Every batch is capped at 15 children. Preschool classes run for four hours, and day care is flexible from three to nine hours between 8:00 AM and 6:30 PM, Monday to Saturday.
We built the centre around a simple observation. Parents in this part of Gurugram need a preschool close to home and a daycare close to work, and it is far easier when those are the same place. Hours stretch into the evening and meals are cooked in-house. GPS-enabled transport for pick-up and drop is available, and live CCTV streaming keeps parents connected through the working day.
What we believe about the early years
Balance beats pressure
The Dynamically Balanced Curriculum gives Creative Thinking, Self & Social Intelligence and Academic Mastery equal weight, in line with NEP and NCF.
Parents are partners
Structured parent–teacher interaction and live CCTV streaming mean families are part of the journey, not just the drop-off.
Learn, Explore, Discover
These three words are the Discover First Step ethos, and you'll see them at work across the centre. Children learn real skills through thoughtfully designed lesson plans. They explore through the Montessori Lab, the reading centres, the dance room and play zones like the Ninja Pit and Wall Climbing Zone. And they discover what they are capable of, whether that is writing their name for the first time or reaching the top of the climbing wall.

Part of the Discover First Step network
This centre is part of Discover First Step, an early-years brand running preschool and day care centres. Being part of a larger network gives the DLF Phase 3 centre a shared curriculum, common standards for safety and care, and the brand's set of differentiators. Those include live CCTV streaming, 100% nutritious in-house food, self-defence training, a strong adult-to-child ratio, and dedicated movement spaces such as the Ninja Pit, Wall Climbing Zone and Trampoline Park.
At the same time, this is a local centre with local families. The team knows the morning traffic on the roads into Phase 3, the office timings in Cyber City, and how much a reliable 6:30 PM closing time matters to working parents.
You can learn more about the wider brand at firststepedu.net, and see this centre's listing on the Discover First Step website.

Who the centre is designed for
Families starting school for the first time
Play Group and Pre-Nursery give toddlers a gentle, predictable introduction to school. Batches are small enough for teachers to know every child, and parents get the reassurance of live CCTV streaming.
Working parents around Cyber City
Flexible day care from three to nine hours, meals from our own kitchen and day care hours until 6:30 PM, Monday to Saturday, make the centre practical for parents in DLF Cyber City, DLF Downtown and Udyog Vihar.
Families with more than one child
With care from six months to ten years, a baby in the creche, a preschooler in LKG and an older sibling in after-school care can all be collected from the same place.
Children who love to move
The Gross Motor Play Zone, Ninja Pit, Wall Climbing Zone and Trampoline Park give active children room to build confidence as well as skill, and optional evening classes add sports and dance.
Children who need extra support or stretch
A dedicated therapy centre on site means children with special needs, and gifted children, can have their therapies in a familiar place, close to home.
