Nurturing Young Minds Since 1989
WELCOME to the SHEMROCK Group of Preschools
A Legacy Built on Trust & Excellence
SHEMROCK is more than just a preschool; it’s India’s first organized playschool chain, established in 1989 by visionary educationists Dr. D.R. Arora & Dr. (Mrs.) Bimla Arora. With over 100 years of combined educational expertise, the Arora family, now led by Mr. Amol Arora and Mrs. Meenal Arora, has built a legacy of excellence. We revolutionized early childhood education in India by introducing a structured, joyful preschool model that became the benchmark for quality learning. Our commitment to a child-centric philosophy blends play with purpose, enabling children to discover themselves through experiential learning in a warm, stimulating environment. Our goal from the beginning has been simple: to create a happy, nurturing space “where learning begins” for every child.
