Choose your plan
Three ways to design your daycare
Pay only for the hours you use
Add an hour or two around the regular preschool slot whenever you need it. Ideal for parents with shifting work hours, occasional client meetings, or flexible work-from-home days.
- Book by the hour, week by week
- Combine with the regular preschool slot
- Easy to add same-day with notice
- Billed monthly based on actual hours used
Predictable hours, predictable cost
Fix a daily window — half day, three-quarter day, or full 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM — and pay one comfortable monthly fee. Best for working parents with stable schedules.
- Choose half, three-quarter, or full day
- Same daily window every day
- One predictable monthly invoice
- Sibling discount applies
Built around your real life
Combine a monthly base plan with a few hourly add-ons for the unpredictable weeks. Our admissions team will design the smallest plan that genuinely covers your family.
- Monthly base + hourly top-ups
- Switch plans with short notice
- Documented in your fee letter
- Quarterly reviews if life changes
How our daycare works
Daycare that grows your child, not just supervises
Safe campus, low ratios
Secured entry, CCTV in common areas, child-safe furniture, and trained early childhood educators with low staff-to-child ratios.
Quiet rest and snuggle space
A dedicated calm room with floor mats, soft lighting, and quiet music gives little ones a real chance to nap and reset.
Healthy, child-friendly meals
Optional meal plans with simple, balanced menus. We also welcome home-packed food for families who prefer it.
Outdoor play, every day
Sand, water, climbing, plants, and fresh air are part of every daycare day, not occasional treats.
Mixed-age care
Older children gently look after the younger ones with adult support — a beautiful side effect of mixed-age daycare.
Personal updates for parents
Photo journals, short messages, and structured pick-up conversations keep working parents truly in the loop.
A day in our daycare
Eight gentle phases that make a Little Lumos day
Welcome & settle-in
Warm greetings, emotional check-in, and free play with familiar friends as children arrive.
Circle & atelier
Songs, story circle, then a hands-on atelier or sensorial project — activities change week to week.
Outdoor & snack
Active play in safe outdoor zones followed by a healthy snack with friends.
Lunch together
Optional meal plan or home-packed food, eaten together calmly with adults seated alongside.
Quiet rest
A real nap or gentle rest in our snuggle space with soft lights and quiet music.
Afternoon explorations
Books, building blocks, music, art, or nature walks — guided by what children are curious about.
Evening wind-down
Light snack, calm activities, and gentle tidy-up rituals as the day slows down.
Pick-up
A short conversation with your child's teacher about how the day went, before you head home together.
The phases stay gentle and predictable, but the exact activities change every week. Children stay only for the hours their family chooses — some leave at lunch, others stay until 4:30 PM.
For working parents
Built around your work hours
Flexible extended hours
Add hours before or after the regular preschool day, or opt for full daycare. Weekly adjustments are easy to make.
Honest daily updates
Photo journals, short notes, and pick-up conversations replace anxious calls. You always know how the day went.
Real partnership
Quarterly parent meetings, easy WhatsApp access for genuine concerns, and joint problem-solving when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers from the Little Lumos admissions team for parents in Kakinada.
What ages do you accept at the Little Lumos daycare in Kakinada?+
Our daycare in Kakinada is designed for children aged 2 to 6 years. The same trained educators care for them, and the routine is integrated with our Reggio Emilia inspired preschool programme.
What are the daycare timings?+
Our campus is open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Within those hours, daycare is fully flexible — choose hourly extended care alongside the regular preschool slot, a fixed monthly plan, or a custom mix that fits your work schedule.
Can I book daycare on an hourly or monthly basis?+
Yes. We offer both hourly extended care (book extra hours around the regular preschool slot) and monthly plans for full or part-day care. Many families combine the two — for example, regular preschool plus a fixed two-hour daily extension and occasional full days when work demands it.
Do you provide meals at the daycare?+
Snacks and water are part of the programme. For longer daycare stays, optional meal plans cover lunch and an evening snack with simple, child-friendly menus. Parents can also pack home food if they prefer.
Is the daycare safe?+
Yes. The campus has secured entry, CCTV monitoring, sanitised play areas, child-safe furniture, and trained early childhood educators. Our staff-to-child ratios stay low so each child is closely watched.
Can I change the daycare hours later?+
Absolutely. We know parent schedules shift. You can move from hourly to monthly, increase or decrease daily hours, or add occasional full-day care with a short notice. Adjustments are documented in writing.
Are daycare fees included in the preschool fee?+
Daycare extension is billed separately from the regular preschool programme fee. Hourly and monthly rates differ slightly, and our admissions team shares the exact numbers in writing during your campus visit.
What happens during longer daycare days — naps, meals, screen time?+
Children get a real quiet rest in our snuggle space with soft lights and music, balanced meals if you choose a meal plan, and continued play and exploration through the afternoon. The daycare stays fully screen-free, just like the preschool.
