In India, a balwadi is a low-cost community preschool — think of it as a neighbourhood nursery run on a shoestring where kids get their first taste of learning before formal school kicks in. Often government-funded or NGO-run, balwadis serve children aged three to six in rural and urban working-class communities. The word carries warmth: it's where millions of Indian kids learned to count, sing, and colour before anything else.
