We offer a safe and secure environment for children at Kido Estancia aged 6 months to 8 years, who can stay from 08:30 am to 7 pm throughout the day. The half-day and full-day care programs ensure your child has everything they need to be healthy and happy—equipped with a fully functional in-house kitchen to offer freshly cooked meals. With our well-designed spaces, your child can explore and grow under the care of experienced educators. Certified in emergency medical care and fire safety, our team is well-prepared to handle any situation. Our childcare facilities provide a solution for parents working full-time and those working part-time. The half-day program ensures your children can develop to the fullest extent from a physical, emotional, and cognitive perspective before returning home. This program incorporates a structured and well-defined routine in a child's early years. Apart from the structured daily routine, children are encouraged to participate in various age-appropriate activities and learn new skills that focus on holistic development. The Kido app gives parents a great tool to stay updated with their child's daycare routine. Through this app, our team can provide daily updates on each child's meal, washroom and naptime details. Parents are further provided with a weekly newsletter which updates a parent with their child's photographs and activities.
We had an excellent experience with Amelio. When my son was two and a half years old, we approached Amelio for pre-school, where he was admitted to Navigators. The learning was immense, and we could see visible differences in his interpersonal and communication skills. Thanks to all his teachers, especially Ms Divya, for her care and affection for all the children. I recommend Amelio to all the parents who want their kids to have the best learning experience.
Koushik Soundhararajan , Amelio EstanciaThe care and affection shown here are exemplary. Because of the teachers and caretakers here, my wife and I can work without worrying about my son. The Centre provides various activities, which greatly helped my son learn his growth milestones. Thanks a lot, and my best wishes to Ms Poornima and her fantastic team.

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.
