Tree House nursery has informed the parents that the sudden discontinuation in the service is due to their inability to pay the staff for months now.
Panicked parents gathered at the head office at Morya House in Andheri West only to discover a deserted office. In return, they attended office landline, only to receive calls from branches all around the city and vendors who haven’t been paid.
Out of the 113 branches all across India, 36 branches are in Mumbai, 16 in Hyderabad, 10 are in Kolkata, 4 are in Lucknow, 3 are in Ranchi, 2 are in Nagpur, 1 is in Patna, among other cities.
Angered by this decision, the parents have filed a complaint at Mumbai's Charkop police station. Vijay Bhalshankar, a senior inspector confirmed that they had received a complaint regarding closure of nursery as teachers haven’t been paid.
Fearing loss of investment, some parents stated that they had paid the advance for next year as well. Others fear that their child will fail to secure admission in other schools without documents, which were presently with the Tree House.
