Petals Preschool & Daycare, with their Six-Year Association with AWWA Little Angels, Became a Quiet Pillar for India's Army Children

New Delhi, 16 July 2025: Petals Preschool & Daycare, one of India's trusted early childhood education providers, has been running three early childhood education and daycare centres inside Delhi Cantonment in association with AWWA Little Angels, an initiative under the Army Welfare ecosystem, since 2020, offering over 500 children of serving officers, defence personnel, and Army widows something their families rarely get: consistency, structure, and a place that stays the same even when everything else changes.

The three centres, located across Arjan Vihar, Kabul Lines, and Shankar Vihar within Delhi Cantonment, were established to address a gap that is specific to Army life. Postings shift, locations change, and the search for reliable, safe childcare starts over every time. Petals was selected through a formal evaluation process, assessed on child safety protocols, quality of teaching staff, hygiene standards, and its ability to communicate with parents in real time. Each centre runs on the EYFS curriculum framework, with CCTV monitoring, trained educators, nutritionally managed meals, a structured daycare programme and the SED Connect platform that keeps parents informed and involved regardless of where duty takes them. Child counselling and developmental support are woven into the programme as well, because the need extended beyond the classroom from the very beginning.

At the Kabul Lines centre, Petals has also been providing subsidised access to early education as part of its CSR commitment, making sure that families with fewer resources receive the same quality of care as everyone else.

"This association was never planned on a whiteboard. It grew because the need was in front of us and we had the means to address it. Army families are not looking for sympathy or special programmes. They are looking for the same quality and reliability that any parent would want for their child. That is what we have tried to show up with, every single day, for six years," says Preeti Kwatra, Co-Founder & CEO, Petals Preschool & Daycare.

With additional centres in the pipeline, the initiative is set to extend its reach to more Army families across cantonments. For Petals, the next phase is a continuation of what has already been built, not a new beginning.
