Our Story

A Favorite Place for Fun and Joy

It was in 2016 that we started out to create the favourite place for fun & joy for young children in Lucknow.  While parents want children to goto school, kids below the age of 5 need to enjoy the process too. When we thought of a way to combine fun and joy in the learning process, the idea of Staford Preschools was born.

We designed the first school at Chowk, within the limitations of the space that was available.  As the centre become the first choice for parents in the area, we used our learnings to create the next centre at Thakurganj, then Latouche Road.  

Preschools you must see!,
where every detail is planned with children in mind.

Vision

To create a refined early-learning ecosystem where children grow with curiosity, confidence, emotional intelligence, and strong academic foundations.

Mission

  • To deliver exploration-led, developmentally appropriate education for ages 2–6.
  • To design environments where space itself becomes a teacher.
  • To nurture confident, compassionate, and school-ready learners.
  • To build a seamless educational journey from preschool onward.
