Education technology is revolutionizing the way children learn in India. IKidz, a premium play school chain focused on the intellectual, social, and emotional development of children aged 2 to 5, has announced an ambitious expansion plan. With more than 200 centres planned across 90 cities by the end of 2024, IKidz is providing a unique and inclusive ecosystem of early education.
IKidz will be utilizing their software, ‘IKidz Smart’, an AI-based tool designed to assist parents during admissions as well as track a child’s academic development. Dhruv Ahuja, the Founder & CEO of IKidz, said: “We are aiming to bring forth an inclusive ecosystem of early education across the Indian periphery, ensuring that every child in the country has an equal opportunity to holistic growth and development.”
The upcoming IKidz centres are planned to open in states such as Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh. Each centre accommodates an average of 40 students, resulting in a 170% return on investment. Furthermore, IKidz has formed a strategic alliance with Franchise India, and will be showcasing their offerings at upcoming exhibitions in Indore, Jaipur and Chandigarh.
IKidz strives to provide a warm and nurturing environment that provides a safe and happy learning environment and assists children in reaching their social, physical, and emotional milestones. Their centres are designed with a theme and concept that allows children to associate, appreciate, and learn from their surroundings. It is India’s first and only preschool to incorporate Augmented Reality into preschool through its in-house developed app, redefining learning. This includes fun learning modules that teach children letters, numbers, shapes, seasons, etc. All IKidz schools have Augmented Reality capable Flash Cards and Tablets, giving the schools a competitive advantage in the Indian market.
The expansion of IKidz is a great opportunity for teachers to engage in the revolution of education technology in India. The platform is creating an inclusive environment for students, while also providing teachers with the necessary tools to help them succeed. With their unique approach to early education, IKidz is set to expand further across India in the years to come.
