Presently, there is no central law regarding the registration to start a preschool, though some state laws exist such the 'Private School Education Acts' in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and others. Many other states have letters issued by the State Government (under the guise of RTE Act), regarding the starting and running of a preschool. For more details, you can consult a Preschool Consultant regarding this. 'Preschool for Child Rights' is the most popular and proper consultant regarding this.

Name holds a lot of significance. Do not copy others' names, as it is illegal as well as unethical. Start your thought with this line - "Why am I starting a preschool and what do I intend to achieve by this?".

You need to invest on things like business research, project know hows, rental advance, toys and equipment, furniture, colours and paints, some changes in the rooms, etc. For more, you may consult a preschool consultant regarding this. 'Preschool for Child Rights' is the most popular and proper consultant regarding this.

You should have proper curriculum; as the adage goes 'quality sells itself'. The government of India is also coming up with curricular laws, making it mandatory for preschools to have proper and good curriculum.

Select a location. Location also plays an important role. In preschool marketing, location has a great value. Besides, do not do not indulge in any cheap antics to market yourself. Allow this formula to serve as a guide:
- Select a good location for the school.
- Build a good preschool.
- Bring quality toys and equipment.
- Bring quality curriculum.
- Be ethical and carry high moral values, and none of these require major investments.

If you don't want to open a franchise, you would be creating your own company to operate your independent preschool. You would still have to meet the same guidelines as a franchise-based preschool. Your state Commission for Protection of Child Rights has information on these guidelines and how to have your preschool certified.

Question

I am interested in opening a playschool but I don't have any experience. Can I open a playschool? Do I have to manage teachers or will others help in providing them?

Community Answer

I suppose you would need some sort of business degree/experience if you wanted to open a playschool. If you don't intend on studying or gaining experience in child development you could hire a director who has all the knowledge and experience necessary. If a director handled the teachers and classrooms you could handle finances and policies and it would all work out!
