Prakrit Preschool Bhubaneswar is an early-childhood education centre located at Plot No. 37, Forest Park, Bhubaneswar – 751009. It is the preschool wing of Mother’s Public School and has a particularly long history in Bhubaneswar’s early-childhood education landscape.
Prakrit began in 1991 as a preschool and daycare with just 20 students, originally conceived as a safe place where working mothers could leave their young children to learn and play. Over more than three decades, the institution developed into Mother’s Public School, while Prakrit continued as its preschool.
For parents searching for a preschool in Forest Park, Bhubaneswar, Prakrit is therefore not simply a recently established preschool or a national franchise centre. It has a long-established local educational history.
More Than Three Decades of Early Childhood Education
One of the strongest distinguishing features of Prakrit is its history.
Mother’s Public School’s official history states that Prakrit was established in 1991, initially as a daycare centre and preschool with a strength of 20 students. The original objective was to provide working women with a safe environment where their children could learn and play.
That gives Prakrit more than 35 years of institutional history by 2026.
The original preschool eventually became the foundation from which Mother’s Public School developed into a larger educational institution. The school’s current material describes Prakrit as the preschool wing of the Mother’s family of schools.
This history is an important consideration for parents looking for an established preschool in Bhubaneswar.
Longevity alone, however, does not guarantee current educational quality. Parents should still evaluate the present-day teachers, classrooms, facilities and learning environment.
Prakrit and Mother’s Public School
Prakrit is closely associated with Mother’s Public School, which developed from the original Prakrit preschool.
The current Mother’s Public School website describes the institution as having grown considerably since its beginnings in 1991, while retaining the original focus on creating a positive and supportive environment for children.
The relationship is important because parents researching Prakrit may encounter information about Mother’s Public School itself.
For this profile, however, the focus is specifically on Prakrit Preschool at Forest Park, rather than the senior-school programmes of Mother’s Public School.
Early Learning Approach
The school’s current material describes Prakrit as a preschool intended to provide children with a joyful, nurturing and positive environment.
Its current brochure describes the Forest Park centre as a day-boarding preschool designed to help young children feel happy, secure and eager to learn.
The broader educational approach emphasises holistic development rather than concentrating only on early academic skills.
Parents considering Prakrit should therefore look at how the school balances:
Early literacy
Numeracy
Creativity
Physical development
Social development
Emotional development
Play
Exploration
Key Learning Areas
The current official Prakrit website identifies seven key learning areas:
Visual and Performing Arts
Language and Literacy
Numeracy
Environmental Awareness
Personal and Social Development
Health and Wellness
Creativity and Imagination
This gives parents a clearer picture of the school’s stated educational priorities than simply describing it as a play school.
The emphasis is on developing different aspects of the child rather than concentrating exclusively on worksheets or early academic performance.
Parents should nevertheless visit the school to understand how these areas are incorporated into the daily classroom routine.
Language and Literacy
Language and literacy form one of Prakrit’s stated key learning areas.
For preschool children, early literacy can include listening, speaking, vocabulary development, storytelling, recognition of sounds and symbols, and gradually developing an interest in books and reading.
Parents visiting the school can ask how language activities are conducted for different age groups and whether children receive opportunities for storytelling, conversation, reading and creative expression.
Numeracy and Early Learning
Numeracy is another of Prakrit’s identified learning areas.
At the preschool stage, numeracy generally involves developing children’s understanding of numbers, patterns, quantities, shapes and relationships through age-appropriate experiences.
Parents should look for opportunities where children learn these concepts through activities and practical experiences rather than simply through memorisation.
Creativity and Performing Arts
Prakrit identifies visual and performing arts as part of its learning programme.
Its current learning-area framework also specifically includes creativity and imagination.
This can provide children with opportunities to express themselves through:
Art
Music
Movement
Performance
Creative activities
Imaginative play
Parents should ask about the activities currently available to their child’s age group.
Environmental Awareness
Environmental awareness is another of Prakrit’s stated learning areas.
At the preschool stage, environmental learning can help children develop awareness of nature, their surroundings, plants, animals and everyday environmental practices.
Parents can ask how these concepts are introduced through classroom activities, outdoor experiences or projects.
Personal and Social Development
Prakrit also identifies personal and social development as a core learning area.
This is particularly relevant during the preschool years because children are developing independence, communication skills, cooperation and the ability to participate in group activities.
Parents visiting the school should observe teacher-child interaction and how teachers help children develop confidence and social skills.
Health and Wellness
Health and wellness form another component of the school’s stated learning framework.
Parents should verify the current arrangements for:
Hygiene
Drinking water
Washrooms
Physical activity
Nutrition
Rest
Child safety
First aid
These practical details can be more important to a young child than the number of activities advertised by a preschool.

Why Prakrit Is Included in EduPortal’s Top 10
Prakrit Preschool – Forest Park is included in EduPortal’s Top 10 Play Schools in Bhubaneswar 2026 curated selection.
Its inclusion is based on several factors, including:
More than three decades of institutional history
Established Bhubaneswar presence
Current operation at Forest Park
Connection with Mother’s Public School
Clearly defined learning areas
Holistic early-childhood focus
Current admission activity
Availability of official information
Recognition in external preschool comparisons
Prakrit has also appeared in EducationWorld’s Bhubaneswar preschool rankings. The published EducationWorld table currently lists Prakrit Preschool, Bapuji Nagar with a score of 786.
The external ranking is treated only as one supporting data point. EduPortal does not reproduce the EducationWorld ranking or claim that Prakrit is objectively the sixth-best preschool in Bhubaneswar.
Our selection is based on a broader assessment.
An Important Distinction About the Location
Some older EducationWorld material refers to the preschool as Prakrit Preschool, Bapuji Nagar, while the current official Mother’s Public School website identifies the preschool at Plot No. 37, Forest Park.
For this EduPortal profile, we will use the current official location: Forest Park.
This is another reason we are identifying the exact branch/location rather than simply copying the name from an older ranking.
Prakrit’s Long Local History
For parents comparing newer preschool centres with established institutions, Prakrit’s history is particularly relevant.
The school began in 1991, at a time when formal preschool and daycare options in Bhubaneswar were considerably less developed than they are today.
Its original purpose was also distinctive: to provide working mothers with a safe place where their young children could spend the day learning and playing.
More than three decades later, Prakrit continues to operate as the preschool wing of Mother’s Public School.
That continuity does not automatically make it the right choice for every child, but it does provide a substantial local history that newer preschool centres cannot yet demonstrate.
A Balanced View for Parents
Prakrit has several characteristics that make it worth considering, particularly for parents who value an established local institution and a broader holistic approach to early childhood education.
Its main strengths from the available evidence are:
Long institutional history
Established Forest Park location
Clearly stated learning areas
Connection with Mother’s Public School
Current admission activity
Holistic early-learning orientation
At the same time, parents should assess the current Forest Park campus and teaching team themselves.
The reputation of Mother’s Public School or Prakrit’s long history should not substitute for evaluating the actual preschool environment in which the child will spend the day.
