with technology embedding it in the conventional methods of preschool learning to create wonders for the toddlers. “We are India’s first digital school to offer e-learning solutions in the preschool segment for the little toddlers to learn in a better manner.

These are aiding the teachers to impart the content in an interactive and realistic manner, thus helping us nurture a tech-savvy nursery generation that works smartly and easily to outperform others,” says Ajay Gupta, Founder, Bachpan.

Being one of the most renowned nursery schools, Bachpan has all that a growing toddler needs to complete his early education.“Every child has different traits irrespective of age, gender, religion or any other basis of classification. With a wider

approach towards education, we come across children from 1.5 to 5 years, some of which may like coming to Bachpan daily, or others might just like to chill in the play area. Thus, we faced several challenges from various parents on daily basis, some of the common ones being the inability to read or write, fussy eaters, disturbed or distracted mind, shyness or lack of social interests, hyperactive children or slow comprehension. This drove us to the fact that every child is not able to grasp using the standardized way of teaching. Thus, we constantly pitch children personally for a better interaction and conceding their personality,”says Ajay Gupta, Founder of Bachpan.

With a nationwide reach, Bachpan has more than 1100 schools in more than 22 states and 250 different cities across the country. Since the inception in 2004, Bachpan has evolved from a single digit number in 2005 to multiple digits chain over a span of 14 years. Along with a series of playschools, Bachpan also has a trail of formal schools under the brand name Academic Heights Public School which has been set up keeping in mind the ultimate vision of grooming achievers and leaders for the future. Working with a futuristic anticipating approach, Ajay Gupta aspires to spread its wings by opening more than 1500 Bachpan centers across the country along with expansion overseas by 2020.
