Daycare

Daycare at Petals Kids is more than supervision. It is a structured, supervised, learning-rich day for your child while you are at work. Open from 8 AM to 8 PM on weekdays, Petals Kids daycare accepts children from 4 months to 13 years across four centres in Pune and PCMC: Wakad, Ravet, Balewadi (formerly listed under our Wakad URL), Mahalunge and Kondhwa.
Petals Kids daycare in Pune and PCMC accepts children from 4 months to 13 years. Open 8 AM to 8 PM on weekdays, the daycare combines structured learning, supervised play, nutritious meals and supervised naps. Branches operate at Wakad, Ravet, Balewadi, Mahalunge and Kondhwa with CCTV monitoring and police-verified staff.
Pune is one of India’s largest IT hubs, with Hinjewadi, Magarpatta and Kharadi together employing over half a million professionals. Most are dual-income households where both parents work shifts that begin before 9 AM and stretch past 7 PM. Petals Kids daycare was built around this exact reality with 12-hour windows and curriculum-led care, not babysitting.
Why Daycare Is Different From Babysitting
Daycare should not be viewed as a necessity for working parents. It is a valuable chance for children to explore, learn and grow holistically. Whether it is before joining playgroup or after school hours, a structured schedule of learning and engagement creates a meaningful difference.
Many parents worry about screen time, indoor confinement, or lack of peer interaction in nuclear families. Petals Kids daycare answers each of those worries directly with a daily timetable curated by our curriculum team, supervised by trained professionals and reviewed by founder Archana Khosla.
Level of activity to develop each skill in each age category is different and is scientifically planned.

Our Daycare Objectives (The Four We Track Every Day)
- Mental Development
We offer activities and an environment that nurtures intellectual curiosity, sensory awareness and problem-solving skills. Children at Petals Kids engage in age-appropriate learning experiences that strengthen memory, attention and reasoning.
- Physical Development
We support fine and gross motor development through structured movement, outdoor play, balance activities and coordination exercises. We also build healthy eating routines through hot, freshly prepared meals.
- Social and Emotional Development
We encourage peer interaction, sharing, turn-taking and empathy. Younger children receive one-on-one warmth that helps them feel secure away from home. Older children develop friendships and emotional regulation skills.
- Language and Communication
We use story time, songs, conversation routines and bilingual exposure to support language growth. Caretakers are trained to engage children in conversation throughout the day, not only during structured sessions.
