A happy, safe first school for your little one
Shaping future leaders with values, creativity and intelligence. Children aged 1.5 to 6 learn through play, songs and stories — settling in gently, at their own pace.
A gentle start, built on trust
AI Kids School — Awadhi International Kids School — opened in 2021 in Basantkunj, near Malhour Station, as a small neighbourhood pre-school with a simple belief: young children learn best when they feel safe and loved.
The school is led by Mr. Pankaj Upadhyay, a research scholar at IIT-BHU Varanasi, and co-owned by Mrs. Sanjoli Pandey, a renowned folk singer. Our days are full of rhymes, colours, celebrations and outdoor play, guided by teachers who work closely with parents. We keep our groups small, our classrooms bright, and our doors open to families at any time.
The right class for every age
Four steps from first day of school to school-ready — each with its own pace, routine and play.

Colours, shapes, rhymes and first friendships, with plenty of art and outdoor time.
LKG
Letters, numbers and storytelling — early reading and writing, taught playfully.

Confident, school-ready children — reading, writing, numbers and stage presence.
