A note from the founder

Welcome to Fairyland Children's Center! We offer early childhood education programs for children starting from 18 months through 6 years. Our progressive educational programs are strongly rooted in traditional values and focus on fostering creativity and independence in your child. 

Raising a child today is no easy task. We want our children to be strong and confident and ready to make a positive change in the world. At the same time, we want to pass on our rich heritage and share the teachings of our culture with them. Fairyland aims to work with parents to achieve this balance. We think of Fairyland and parents as partners in developing your child; our aim is to do what is best for the little one. 

With a student to teacher ratio of 5:1, Fairyland offers a personal touch during the critical first years of your child's education. Our experienced multilingual team creates a comfortable, nurturing and open-minded classroom atmosphere. Our comprehensive approach caters to both the physical and psychological needs of the child. We encourage full participation from parents, and are always open to new ideas and feedback.

Our methodology is based on modern international techniques and Montessori principles, but is adapted to work at home in Pune. I am personally inspired by my own mother and grandparents and bring to Fairyland the values with which I raised my children. Children are exposed to local and global traditions and languages. Fairyland students celebrate Diwali by drawing Rangoli, Navratri with Bhondla, and Christmas with carols. Our library has a rich collection of storybooks collected from around the world.  

Our objective is to provide a stress-free learning environment, where fun and learning are one! We develop the confidence and skills necessary for primary school, while encouraging curiosity and emotional development and cultivating good habits. 

All children deserve the best! We work hard to make this a reality.


Fairyland has an incredible balance of progressive and traditional cultural values, in a way which makes my kids comfortable and well-prepared for the future.
— Proud Fairyland parent
