Petals Kids is a chain of preschools and daycare centres across Pune and PCMC offering structured early learning for children aged 4 months to 13 years. With 6 preschool branches and 4 daycare centres, Petals Kids serves families in Wakad, Balewadi, Ravet, Mahalunge, NIBM, Salunke Vihar and Kondhwa.
Pune metropolitan region has over 1.2 million children under age 6 and Hinjewadi alone hosts 200,000 IT professionals whose dual-income households drive 70% of preschool admissions across PCMC. Petals Kids was designed specifically for these working families: a preschool plus daycare model that mirrors office shift timings, not the standard 3-hour playschool format.
Choosing a preschool is the first big decision most parents make for their child. At Petals Kids, that decision becomes simpler because we have built one trusted brand across Pune and PCMC with branches close to where families actually live and work.
Petals Kids operates 6 preschool branches and 4 daycare centres serving children aged 4 months to 13 years. Our branches are in Wakad, Ravet (PCMC) and Balewadi, Mahalunge, NIBM, Salunke Vihar, Kondhwa (Pune). A specialist Music and Dance Classes centre operates from our Wakad branch.

Our Outcome-Based Activity Curriculum covers six learning domains: language, cognition, motor skills, social-emotional learning, creative arts and life skills. Every branch follows the same assessment milestones.
- Founder-Led Quality, Not a Franchise
Petals Kids is led by founder and director Archana Khosla, who personally oversees teacher training and curriculum across branches. We are not a master franchise where standards drift between owners. Every educator at every branch is trained by the same team.

Our Curriculum Philosophy
Petals Kids follows a child-centric collaborative learning model that balances child-initiated play with teacher-facilitated activities. We do not push academic content too early. Instead we build the foundations that make academics easier later: language confidence, attention span, fine motor control, peer interaction and curiosity.
Six Learning Domains We Develop
- Language: reading readiness, phonological awareness, pre-writing strokes, listening skills
- Cognitive: reasoning, classification, memory games, early numeracy, EVS
- Physical: fine motor, gross motor, hand-eye coordination, sensory processing
- Social Emotional: self-regulation, empathy, peer relationships, cultural awareness
- Creative Arts: music, dance, drama, visual arts, clay work, role play
- Life Skills: self-help routines, hygiene habits, table manners, independence
Daycare That Goes Beyond Babysitting
Daycare at Petals Kids is not a parking service. It is a structured day where children continue learning while parents work. Our 8 AM to 8 PM window covers most IT and corporate shift patterns in Pune. Children receive nutritious meals, supervised naps, homework help (for school-going children) and an activity timetable curated by our curriculum team.
- Petals Kids runs 6 preschools and 4 daycare centres across Pune and PCMC
- Children aged 4 months to 13 years are welcomed, supporting families through the full early childhood window
- Daycare timings of 8 AM to 8 PM are designed for Hinjewadi, Magarpatta and Kharadi IT shift patterns
- Same curriculum, same teacher training standards, same founder oversight across every branch
Three service lines under one trusted brand: preschool, daycare, music and dance

As a family we are very impressed with the school and teachers. My son's progress has been outstanding. Team Petals Kids are very good at nurturing and developing the children's academic skills, social interactions and productive play. Thanks to Archana Ma'am and the entire team of Petals Kids for taking care of my child. The school has excellent ethos and I have recommended Petals Kids to lots of parents.
Petals Kids school is an amazing place to learn for our kid Danish. The teachers are highly educated, thoughtful and nurturing. Thank you for always being patient and kind to Danish and for enhancing his skills in both offline school and online school during the current pandemic situation. We are very happy that we chose Petals Kids school for our son Danish.
It's a precious feeling to be a part of Petals Kids. I am glad that both my daughters were petalites and they both had a wonderful experience throughout their preschool years. PETALS KIDS is like a family for us. Special thanks to principal Mrs. Archana Khosla for always being so supportive, caring and motivating. My daughters love their preschool.
Our association with Petals Kids started some 6 years back when we were looking out for playgroup for my elder son. The environment and staff was the key thing to select Petals Kids. After that he continued at the same place till his Sr kg. We never looked out to go for some fancy name and place. Because the way he was nurtured and shaped up, was simply perfect. For the younger one, with our experience and results, Petals Kids was the default choice. And the best part is that this Petals Kids maintains the same EduCare standard after so many years. Competent teachers who love to make the kids learn in play and grow mode and the helpful staff make the school a lovely environment. Thanks you Petals Kids!
Teachers of Petals kids are very nurturing and loving. The small class size ensures excellent involvement between the child and the teacher. Petals Kids has a lot of extra curricular activities for kids. These activities are truly beneficial and enjoyable for kids. As a family we are proud to beba part of Petals Kids!!!
We are lucky and blessed that we found Petals Kids as a preschool and day care for our daughter. Tanisha was just 6 months old when we enrolled her in the day care and then as she grew up we put her in the school of Petals Kids. Tanisha found her right mentors at the right time. We want to thanks Team Petals Kids for relentlessly working with our child and trying to help her with almost everything that she has done from day care to school. Teachers and coordinators of Petals Kids made her transition very smooth from Day Care to Preschool. Thank you!!!
