Websites for schools & playschools
Website design for schools and playschools in Kolkata
Parents start the school hunt on a phone: admission dates, the fee range, the bus route and what the classrooms look like. We build websites for private schools, playschools and Montessori schools in Kolkata that answer those questions plainly, keep notices and holiday lists in one place and, for CBSE schools, carry the mandatory disclosure page the board asks for.
What your customers type into Google
- playschool near me Salt Lake
- preschool admission 2027 New Town
- CBSE school in Behala admission open
- Montessori school Ballygunge fees
- nursery admission ICSE school Garia
- school with bus service Dum Dum
- daycare and playschool Lake Town
Your website and Google listing should answer every one of these.
Why it matters
Why schools & playschools need their own website.
- 01
Admission decisions start online
Before booking a school visit, parents compare age criteria, form dates, fees and distance from home across several tabs. The school that sets these out clearly gets the visit; one with only last year’s Facebook post gets a confused phone call at best.
- 02
One place for notices, not forwarded photos
Circulars and holiday lists usually travel as photos of paper notices in class WhatsApp groups and vanish in the scroll. A dated notices page gives parents a link they can always return to, and the office fewer calls asking “is school open tomorrow?”
- 03
Trust before a parent hands over a child
For a playschool above all, parents want to see the classrooms, the play area and who the teachers are, and to read the pick-up and safety rules. Real photos and plain policies reassure far more than slogans about “holistic development”.
What we build
What your website includes.
Admissions page with dates and documents
Age criteria by class, form dates, the steps from form to confirmation and the documents to bring, such as birth certificate, photographs, address proof, immunisation record and, for higher classes, the transfer certificate. Parents send an admission enquiry or ask for a campus visit, and it reaches the office WhatsApp.
Fee structure, where you choose to publish it
Admission, annual and monthly or quarterly fees by class, set out the way you actually bill them, with transport and optional activity charges listed separately. Our coaching sample shows how a fee calculator with a sibling discount works. CBSE schools must disclose fees anyway; for others it is your call.
Notices, circulars and the academic calendar
Dated notices with downloadable circulars, the session calendar, exam schedules and the holiday list with Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Christmas and summer vacation marked, plus a banner for sudden closures on heavy-rain days.
Gallery with consent built in
Annual sports day, Saraswati Puja, the science fair and everyday classroom life, shown with care: group and activity shots rather than close-ups, no names beside children’s faces, and only photos covered by parents’ written consent.
Transport routes and timings
Bus or pool-car routes with stops by locality (say Kasba, Santoshpur and Jadavpur), approximate pick-up times and the transport in-charge’s number, so parents can tell at a glance whether the school is practical from home.
Staff, facilities and mandatory disclosures
The principal’s message, teachers with their qualifications, labs, library and play area, and for CBSE schools a Mandatory Public Disclosure page linked from the home page, holding the data and documents the board asks for.
Price
The plan most schools & playschools pick.
Once admissions, fees, transport, staff, gallery and disclosures are in, most schools need more than 8 pages, and Pro’s section you edit yourself works as a notice board, so Pro at ₹24,999 fits a full school. A single-branch playschool or Montessori usually manages well on Growth at ₹14,999.
One-time price. Domain and hosting renewal is about ₹2,500 a year from year two. Pay 50% after you approve the free demo.

Google & Maps
How to get found in local searches.
Advice we follow when we set up your Google Business Profile and website. Most of it you can do yourself today.
- 01
Pick the Google Business Profile category that matches what you run, such as “Preschool” or “Kindergarten” for a playschool, “Montessori school” where that is your method, and a board-specific school category such as “CBSE school” where Google offers one, rather than a generic “School”.
- 02
Write the board, classes and medium into the description and services, for example “CBSE, Nursery to Class 12, English medium” or “Playgroup to UKG, Montessori method”. That is how parents phrase their searches.
- 03
Post on your profile when admission forms open, before open days and when board results come out. A short dated post with a link to the admissions page is what a parent searching in October actually needs.
- 04
Add real photos of the gate, classrooms, play area and school bus, without identifiable children, and set special hours for Puja vacation and summer break so Maps doesn’t show the office open when it is shut.
- 05
Ask parents whose children have completed a full year for a review, never in return for a fee concession. Reply politely and never mention a child by name. Our Google Business Profile guide covers setup and verification.
Rules worth knowing
- CBSE schools. The Affiliation Bye-Laws, 2018 require every affiliated school to run its own website, and CBSE circulars since 2021 require a “Mandatory Public Disclosure” in the board’s Appendix IX format, linked prominently from the home page. It covers affiliation and trust details, fees, the academic calendar, SMC and PTA members, staff qualifications, three years of board results, infrastructure and self-attested certificates such as building and fire safety. In January 2026 CBSE told schools to bring it up to date or face action under the affiliation rules. Check the current format on CBSE’s affiliation portal (opens in a new tab).
- Children’s photos and data. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 treats everyone under 18 as a child and requires verifiable consent from a parent before a child’s personal data is processed. The DPDP Rules, notified in November 2025, bring the obligations into force in stages over 18 months, so build consent in now: a photo-consent line on the admission form, no names beside children’s faces and prompt removal when a parent asks. See MeitY (opens in a new tab).
- Admissions. Section 13 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 bars capitation fees and any screening of a child or parents at admission for the children it covers, aged six to fourteen. Keep “donation” lines off the fee page, describe the admission process as it really runs and check how your board and the state apply the rules to Nursery admissions. See the Ministry of Education’s RTE page (opens in a new tab). Rules change, so treat this as a starting point, not legal advice.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so check the current version with your council or regulator.
FAQ
Questions owners ask us.
More answers on the FAQ page.
How much does a school website cost in Kolkata?
With us, a playschool or Montessori site usually costs ₹14,999 on Growth, and a full school with notices, transport and disclosure pages ₹24,999 on Pro. A very small playschool can start on Starter at ₹7,999. All three are one-time, and domain plus hosting renews at about ₹2,500 a year from year two. See the pricing page and our guide to website costs in Kolkata.
We are a CBSE school. What goes on the Mandatory Public Disclosure page?
The board’s Appendix IX format: general information, affiliation and trust documents, results, staff details, fees, the academic calendar, SMC and PTA details, and infrastructure, with self-attested certificates uploaded as PDFs. You supply the documents and figures; we lay them out in the board’s order and link the page from the home page as CBSE expects.
Can we post notices and holiday lists ourselves?
On Pro, yes: the editable section works as a notice board you can update from a phone. On Starter and Growth, send the notice on WhatsApp and we put it up for you; small edits in the first month are free.
Can parents pay fees or see report cards through the website?
Not on the standard plans. Online fee payment, parent logins, report cards and attendance are custom work, quoted separately. If you already use school management software, the website can simply link to its parent login and payment page.
Can the website be in Bengali as well as English?
Yes. Bengali-medium schools and many playschools prefer key pages, such as admissions, fees and the holiday list, in both languages. You supply or approve the Bengali text, and we keep class names and dates consistent across the two versions.
