About Us
Where Learning Begins in Earnest
Loved by Parents
Welcome to
Sandipani Play School
Sandipani takes its name from Rishi Sandipani, preceptor to Lord Krishna — a name chosen deliberately to reflect our belief that education is, at its core, a relationship between a guiding teacher and a curious mind. The foundation of our school rests on two commitments held simultaneously: an active, play-based approach to early learning, and a genuine grounding in Indian tradition and cultural literacy.
Fun and Active Learning
A play-based methodology suited to how young children process and retain information.
Indian Traditions and Culture
A learning environment shaped by cultural literacy and considered values.
Our Story
The Vision Behind Sandipani
Sandipani operates under the Shri Ranidan Daga Memorial Society, founded on the conviction of the late Shri Ranidan ji Daga that a child's earliest education should cultivate more than academic readiness — it should cultivate character.
To lay the foundation of a strong society by nurturing curious minds through interactive learning, regular field engagement and considered use of technology.
We have worked deliberately to move beyond the conventional model of early education common in Jodhpur — rote instruction and passive classroom time — toward a curriculum that treats curiosity as the starting point for learning, not an interruption to it.
Our Motto
Learning Made Enjoyable
Building Values, Inspiring Excellence, Creating Legacy
We hold this motto as a sequence, not a slogan. Values come first, because character formed early shapes how a child engages with everything that follows. Excellence is what we aim to inspire, not impose — a habit of trying fully, built through encouragement rather than pressure. And legacy is the horizon we keep in view: the understanding that what a child carries forward from these early years — in character, curiosity and confidence — will shape the kind of person, and eventually the kind of contributor to society, they become.
This is what guides our approach in the classroom: a genuine teacher-student bond built through informal interaction, and steady attention paid to reading, writing and music not as isolated subjects, but as the early groundwork for a life shaped by strong values and lasting purpose.
A reflection, in a child's own words
"My school is just like my house,
With a garden and paintings I love to browse.
My teacher is patient and kind each day,
Helping me learn in her own gentle way.
I've made new friends, we learn and we play —
My school will be the best, today and every day."
Beyond the Classroom
More Than Just a Play School
Five commitments that shape every child's early years with us.
Sports
Structured play that builds fitness, teamwork and fair competition from an early age.
Ethical Values Through the Geeta
Age-appropriate sessions on the Bhagavad Geeta, introducing reflection and right conduct early on.
A Safe Learning Environment
Supervised spaces and trained staff, so children feel secure enough to explore and learn freely.
Overcoming Stage Fear
Regular, low-stakes opportunities to perform, building comfort on stage well before it matters.
Self-Reliance
Daily routines that encourage children to manage small tasks independently, building lasting confidence.
Facilities
Sandipani Play School
Outdoor Learning Area
Our outdoor space is designed as a genuine extension of the curriculum rather than a break from it. Structured with a range of play equipment — swings, slides, a sand and mud area — the space is built to encourage gross motor development, independent exploration and unstructured social interaction, all of which contribute meaningfully to early childhood development.
Activity and AV Room
Not all learning happens through instruction; some of it requires hands-on discovery. Our activity room is stocked with materials — building blocks, clay, puzzle sets — that support open-ended problem-solving, giving children room to construct understanding on their own terms.
Library
Early and sustained exposure to books is one of the clearest predictors of later literacy. Our library is scaled to the interest and attention span of very young children, introducing storytime as a daily habit rather than an occasional treat.
Smart Classrooms
Audio-visual instruction, used deliberately rather than as a substitute for teaching, helps young children engage with concepts that are otherwise difficult to convey verbally. We incorporate structured video and animation content into lessons where it demonstrably improves comprehension and retention.
Hygienic Environment
Clean, well-maintained, dust-free classrooms are a baseline requirement for a healthy learning environment, particularly for children whose immune systems are still developing.
CCTV Surveillance
Every area of our campus is monitored through in-built cameras, giving parents assurance regarding their child's safety and daily wellbeing throughout the school day.
