About Us

Podar Jumbo Kids is one of the leading Early Childhood Centers in India. Established in 2000, it has more than 220 centers pan India, each one as happy, committed etc as the first one.When Podar Jumbo Kids was launched in year 2000, the trend followed by almost all preschools at that time was the formal teaching methods. A few schools were making waves by using the international format of playway method as well as an international curriculum and international toys. PJK's mother organisation, Podar Education Network, was already in the business of imparting education at various levels, from 1927. The management took a studied decision to set up a preschool that would be both global in its format and curriculum but local in its philosophies, thus giving rise to Podar Jumbo Kids. Established in 1927, by Sheth Anandilal Podar, Podar Education Network has, from the very beginning been focussed driven and motivated by the traditional Indian values of honesty, integrity and service. The father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi, being the very first President of the Anandilal Podar Trust stands testimony to this fact.(View the minutes of the first Trust meeting).
