About the school: Since the inception of Bachpan in 2004, we have had rapid acceptance from parents for their children's nursery school admission. With our state-of-the-art preschool curriculum, top-notch infrastructure, age-appropriate pedagogy, and seamless kindergarten admission process, we initially established over 100 preschools in just 3 years. Every year, 2 lac+ students experience the wholesome Bachpan world in our 1200+ preschools across India and Nepal. We are not a daycare school but a revolution in the preschool segment.
