At Kido, we cater to children between the ages of 6 months and 8 years. Our aim is to provide age-specific support to help children grow into capable and independent individuals. With this in mind, our adult-to-child ratios are as follows: 08 months - 15 months: 1:3 | 16 months - 2 years: 1:6 | 2 years - 3 years: 1:8 | 3 years - 5 years: 1:10 | 5 years and above: 1:12

We have crafted the most advanced Early Years Program, with the British Early Years Foundation Stage at its core. Classical philosophies like Montessori and Reggio Emilia, combined with cutting-edge research, come together to create an international, world-class pedagogy. Our extraordinary team, thoughtfully designed curriculum, and exceptional preschool environment nurture and enhance each child's inherent curiosity, creativity, and potential for lifelong learning. Additionally, we provide children with unique opportunities to connect with their peers in other countries through our International Zoom Club Calls.

At Kido, we partner with parents during their child's early years to create a collaborative and enriching experience. We offer the Kido Club, a first-of-its-kind exclusive portal for our Kido parents, allowing them to stay engaged with specially curated content for children and parents anytime, anywhere. The portal features a collection of home-based activities for children across STEM, Art, Literacy, Maths, and Physical Development, complete with weekly activities, worksheets, videos, and more, as well as webinars with specialists from around the world, specifically curated for Kido parents. Additionally, we host regular coffee mornings and actively involve parents in various in-school activities at our preschools, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

Our proprietary pedagogy—the Kido Early Years System (KEYS)—introduces children to literacy, maths, science, and technology (including coding for the early years), as well as drama and art. It integrates child-led and teacher-led activities with both free and structured play in curated learning environments. Our curriculum focuses on whole-child development and offers customized learning across a range of areas. We support your child's language growth from an early age, building the foundation for communication even before they can speak. What children learn during this critical period serves as the basis for their future reading and writing abilities. The curriculum is designed to promote overall development, ensuring that each child is well-prepared for any mainstream school that parents choose.

Yes, we offer healthy and nutritious morning and evening snacks. Lunch must be provided by parents, and we ensure it is properly stored and heated for the children. However, some of our centres require parents to provide all meals. For more information, please connect with our Centre Head.

We coordinate toilet training with our parents once we determine that the child is ready. Our teachers will also advise you on how you can support this process at home, ensuring the child learns consistently both at our kindergarten and at home.

Yes, we ensure that all our teachers and support staff are trained in pediatric first aid. Selected Kido centres are equipped with a sick bay or a nurse. Additionally, we conduct regular fire drills and provide comprehensive health and safety training at all our centres.
