By parents, for parents
We are founded and managed by a group of parents of young children around the world. Frustrated by the quality of preschools and nurseries in our cities, we came together to create an early education company that delivered for parents, children and operators alike, all over the world.
We are creating magical and engaging learning spaces. Infused with cutting edge pedagogy and great teachers to nurture and enhance every child’s innate curiosity, creativity and ability to be a lifelong learner.




Network
We started with our first school in Hong Kong in Jan 2014. Since then we have opened schools in Dubai, India, the UK and the USA. Our franchise operations began in 2019 and 2020 has saw us launching Kido Home, our online preschool offering. Our network is rapidly growing across more cities and countries.

Our vision for the future of childcare is where humans focus on learning, teaching, caring and interacting - and smart machines do everything else.
