Everything runs through one app
For schools
The whole business of running a preschool in one place — admissions, attendance, fees, staff and compliance. Your school keeps its own name, its own fee structure and its own identity.
For teachers
StarBuilder is our curriculum, and it lives inside the app she already opens — lesson plans, activities and learning resources in her workflow rather than in a folder on a shelf. Technology that supports the teacher rather than adding to her day.
For parents
A live view of their child's journey — updates, memories, learning experiences, and a direct line to the teacher. Plus a place to discover learning opportunities and explore schools.
The curriculum isn't a folder of printouts. StarBuilder connects learning experiences, teacher guidance, book reinforcement, assessment evidence and parent communication in the teacher's workflow.
The workbooks aren't a separate purchase. They're printed to match the sequence the app is already delivering, page by page.
The ID cards, the name labels, the pre-cut book covers, the memory book at the end of the year — those exist because the app already knows every child's photo, class, section and the exact size of their books.
No app, no programme. That's why the app is free for schools, and that's why it's the whole thing.
Six vendors. One month. Every year.
- A books supplier
- A uniform tailor in Chickpet
- A stationery wholesaler
- A bag vendor
- A printer for ID cards
And somewhere in the middle of all that — admissions season.
One app. One order. One invoice. One delivery. One person to call.
A curriculum built on what India decided, not what we invented
Every provider says they're NEP-aligned. Ask them to show you the map.
Starkid's curriculum is derived, outcome by outcome, from the NCERT Preschool Curriculum and NCF Foundational Stage 2022. Not adapted afterwards — built from it.

Every outcome can be followed from its framework reference to the experience, resource and evidence that make learning visible.
Playgroup, Nursery, LKG and UKG are covered in the StarBuilder v3.0 architecture.
Other providers give you a plan. We give you the day.
We believe technology should support teachers, not burden them — so the curriculum arrives where she already works.
The teacher opens her phone to the theme, learning experiences, materials, prompts and assessment guidance for the day.
She ticks what she actually did. Ten seconds.
The parent sees what happened, and the skill behind it.
The report writes itself from what she ticked.
Every preschool loses a week to report cards. Yours won't.
The teacher records evidence over time — observation, conversation, child work, performance, portfolio, practical task or story response. Reports grow from what actually happened.
Five developmental domains, in language that changes with the child's age band — so a Playgroup report doesn't read like a UKG one.
Nothing reaches a parent until your school approves it.
“Evidence is connected to the same SLO that shaped the experience and the book activity.”
One screen. Show it to a parent who asks. Show it to an inspector who asks.
Families discover. Schools get found.
