Babita Parashar is transforming education by combining holistic learning, confidence-building, and creativity. Under her leadership, her school has expanded to multiple branches, offering value-based education and inclusive programs that empower children to grow into confident and well-rounded individuals.

Babita Parashar is the Director of Little Star School, Ujjain, passionately devoted to nurturing young minds with vision, care, and purpose.

Little Star School is not just a school, but a centre of exclusive thinking—where every student is considered a star who only needs the right opportunity to shine brightly. This belief forms the heart of the school’s philosophy and guides every aspect of learning.

Here, education goes far beyond books. The school focuses on confidence-building and experiential learning through interactive classrooms, caring and supportive teachers, value-based education, and a thoughtfully designed curriculum. These elements work together to encourage students to explore freely, express themselves confidently, and excel both academically and personally.

The school’s approach is centered on nurturing strong foundations, ensuring that every child is well prepared for a confident and successful future. At Little Star School, it is firmly believed that when a child’s early years are guided in the right direction, their future naturally takes shape in a positive and meaningful way.

Little Star School Director Babita Parashar shares that the inspiration to start a school came from her daughter when the family shifted to Ujjain 11 years ago. While searching for a suitable school for her daughter’s primary education, she realized that no institution truly offered a balanced approach—one that combined quality academics with strong values, confidence-building, and creative learning.

Firmly believing that primary education lays the foundation for a child’s future, she was motivated to establish a school in Ujjain that provides a nurturing and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and develop holistically. This vision led to the creation of Little Star School, where students not only gain strong academic knowledge but also develop moral values, self-confidence, and meaningful opportunities for creative expression.

Babita Parashar was born in Gwalior and brought up in Indore, where she completed her basic education and college degree. Her father, who served as a principal and teacher, worked tirelessly to educate students, leaving a profound and lasting impression on her. Growing up in a household deeply connected to education naturally inspired her to start her own school. From this legacy, she inherited not only the values of teaching but also the practical skills of guiding and nurturing students effectively.

Babita Parashar reflects that her career began with a small dream to establish a school where education is not limited to books, but also teaches confidence, real learning, and values that help children move forward in life. As the saying goes, whether dreams are big or small, they all begin with determination and the confidence to achieve them, and her story truly reflects this belief.

What started as a modest dream with a strong desire to create a school took shape as a small beginning. With the strong support of her parents, the trust of families, and the dedicated hard work of her and her team members, this vision has grown into the Little Star Group of Schools, which she now runs with pride and commitment.

Babita Parashar deeply admires her husband, Sameer Parashar, the Principal of the school, who has always supported her in every aspect of life, including her professional career. At Little Star School, she focuses on overseeing the academic programs, while her husband manages promotions and other curricular activities, making their partnership the cornerstone of the school’s success.

A thought that inspires Babita Parashar a lot is the guiding vision of Little Star School, Ujjain:

“अगर देखना चाहते हो मेरी उड़ान को, तो थोड़ा और ऊँचा कर दो आसमान को।”

Guided by this inspiring vision, every student at Little Star is encouraged to spread their wings and soar high. This same philosophy also motivates Babita Parashar to put in dedicated efforts toward expanding the school and providing more children with the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve their full potential.

Babita Parashar also shares that another thing that has inspired her in life is the belief that children learn by observing us. Therefore, we must embody the values and behaviors we wish our children to follow—essentially, be the change you want to see in your children.

Talking about her achievements, Babita Parashar says her vision has transformed Little Star School into a trusted group of schools in Ujjain. The school began with the main branch at 123 Vidyapati Nagar, Nanakheda, which quickly became a hub of quality education and holistic learning. Encouraged by growing demand and positive feedback from parents, the school expanded with a second branch at Tirupati Dream, Shanti Palace Bypass, Nanakheda. Building on this success, a third branch is currently under construction in Vinayak Vihar and is expected to open soon, furthering the school’s mission to provide nurturing, innovative, and high-quality education to children across the city.

However, Babita Parashar reveals that one of the most significant challenges she faced was running Little Star School, Ujjain, during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in teaching primary children during lockdowns. To ensure uninterrupted learning, she counseled parents, highlighting the importance of supporting their children at home and assuring them that the school was ready to continue classes using advanced online learning technology.

During that period, Little Star School became the only school in Ujjain to provide continuous online education for its students. According to Babita Parashar, it was not merely a challenging phase but a valuable learning opportunity, as the school adopted modern teaching methods and leveraged technology that led in ensuring that students’ learning and growth should never stop.

She further highlights the impact of online teaching during the COVID-19 phase, noting that even 5th standard students scored 100%. This proves that when learning is consistent and well-structured, students can achieve excellent results and continue to progress confidently.

Based on her experience, Director Babita Parashar emphasizes that the most important aspects of a preschool are caring and loving teachers, combined with a safe and nurturing environment. She believes that a school is truly successful when a child feels happy and excited to go to the school even on Sundays.

For parents searching for the right preschool, she suggests keeping a few key factors in mind, as early childhood development is crucial for its future growth, with major brain development taking place in the first six years. Providing a proper and supportive environment during this period is essential for their overall growth.

On this basis, she highlights the most important factors to consider: proximity to your home, a positive and encouraging atmosphere, well-educated and trained staff, adherence to sound educational policies, and ensuring that students are not burdened with undue academic pressure.

In short, a preschool should be a place where children are eager to go and enjoy learning, making their early educational experience both joyful and meaningful.

Director Babita Parashar shares an important message for all parents: those whose children need additional support are encouraged to consult Little Star School, Ujjain, which runs special classes for children with autism and other developmental challenges. These classes are conducted by trained and experienced staff and include engaging activities and fun, therapeutic games designed to support learning, development, and overall improvement in special children.
