About Damara International | Reggio Emilia Preschool & Daycare in Pune

Damara International began with a simple belief that the earliest years of a child's life deserve the warmest care and the richest learning.

Fifteen years ago, Mrs. Samara Jagwanee set out to create more than a preschool. As a consultant child psychologist, parenting expert and curriculum designer, she envisioned a place where education would be guided not by pressure or rote learning, but by an understanding of how children truly learn, grow and thrive.

Drawing from years of working with children and families, she built Damara on a simple yet powerful philosophy: when children feel safe, respected and emotionally secure, learning happens naturally.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, informed by neuroscience and aligned with the UK Early Learning Goals, every experience at Damara is designed to nurture curiosity, independence, creativity and emotional wellbeing.

Because at Damara, we don't measure success by how early a child can read or write. We measure it by the confidence to ask questions, the kindness to include others, the courage to try again and the joy of discovering the world.

Today, that vision continues across every Damara campus, where passionate educators partner with families to create meaningful learning experiences and joyful childhoods.

For over 15 years, Damara has remained the trusted choice for parents seeking an education that nurtures not only bright minds, but kind hearts and confident individuals.
