Spend a few thousand now, or lose crores learning the hard way.
Setting up a preschool is not cheap. The lease, the fit-out, the equipment, the staff, a first year of running at a loss while you fill the seats. It runs into crores before the place breaks even. And most of that money does not leak slowly. It gets lost early, in a handful of decisions made by someone who has never set one up before. Wrong location. Wrong size. The wrong three hires. A floor plan that fights the teachers every single day.
I have spent 23 years inside preschools, premium, company-owned, and chains, watching exactly where founders bleed money. This course is the thinking. A call with me is where we put it to work on your building, your budget, your town.
- Before you sign the lease. Location, size, and layout decided on numbers, not on a broker’s pitch.
- Before you spend on equipment. What a preschool actually needs in year one, and what can wait.
- Before you hire. A staffing plan and a hiring brief, so you are not fixing the wrong team in month two.
Starts at ₹3,000 per hour.No retainer to start. One call tells you whether the next ones are worth it.
