Kido International delivers premium early-years education and daycare using a curriculum anchored in the British Early Years Foundation Stage and technology-enabled operations. The group operates globally with a presence in the UK, USA, India and China and says it has served over 15,000 families worldwide. Kido recently acquired Amelio Early Education, a 13+-year Indian preschool and daycare operator incorporated in 2008 that runs 30 centres across Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad and has served 20,000+ children. The combined network will expand to 39 centres across India including Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Gurugram, positioning Kido as one of India’s few non-franchised premium providers. Management says the acquisition and integration of Kido’s global curriculum with Amelio’s centres will support nationwide expansion and delivery of consistent parent and child experiences. The company plans to use recent investment proceeds to fuel both organic and inorganic growth in India while maintaining teacher training and international operating standards. Kido frames this expansion as aligned with India’s National Education Policy 2020 and expects increased focus on quality early childhood education going forward.
