Where curious little minds grow into confident big kids.
Lead Up International Preschool blends a joyful, play-based curriculum with the NEP 2020 foundational-stage framework — in a campus built for giggles, questions, and first friendships.
Play is the most effective vehicle for early learning.
Neuroscience shows that play actively builds the brain. At Lead Up, every sandpit, puppet show, and block tower is doing quiet, purposeful work.
Executive Function
Planning a block structure exercises working memory and self-control.
Problem-Solving
A puzzle piece that won't fit teaches trial, error, and creative thinking.
Creativity
A stick becomes a wand — imagination is fertile ground for innovation.
Language & EQ
Pretend play builds vocabulary, sharing builds empathy.
Four years, one sunshine path to primary school.
Purpose-driven, not profit-driven.
NGO-Powered, Not Profit-Driven
Run by the Shivaji Shelar Memorial Foundation, so every decision centres on your child.
A Curriculum Built to Bloom
Holistic, internationally-inspired learning across intellect, emotion, creativity, and movement.
Educators Who Notice Everything
Trained teachers who observe, encourage, and gently guide — never push.
A Genuinely Safe Campus
Secure, sunlit classrooms and play areas designed around little bodies and big imaginations.
Real School Readiness
Early literacy, numeracy, and confident communication woven into everyday play.
Parents as Partners
Regular updates, workshops, and open doors — you're part of the classroom too.
