EuroKids is a brand owned by EuroKids International Ltd which was formerly known as Egmont Imagination (India) Ltd. The core activity of the company revolved around children book publishing. The company had abundant access to Pre-School learning content and wanted to use its expertise in bringing good quality content to Indian students. This set off a process which led to the setting up of an organized Pre-School chain with the commencement of franchising in 2001. Since then EuroKids has added more than 780+ preschools in 280 towns and cities across India and provided more than 450 individuals an opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial journey.
We believe in the process of Learning by Doing – a child needs to ‘touch’, ‘explore’, ‘learn’ and ‘enjoy’ understanding the world around him. In order to stimulate a child’s imagination, we provide opportunities for the child to grow and develop while reading, listening and playing.
Research has conclusively proven that maximum learning happens during the early years of a child’s life where his mind is open to new ideas. It is essential to hone the intellectual, physical, emotional, linguistic, social and moral skills at this stage so that the child stands well equipped for the rest of his life. At EuroKids we understand this and therefore make sure that we make no compromise when it comes to imparting quality education. EuroKids curriculum is based on developmentally appropriate education that challenges and encourages but never pushes. The joyous environment, child-friendly equipment, enticing toys and scientifically designed games at EuroKids help a child to listen, discover, imagine and create. The love and warmth of teachers, who appreciate that each child is unique, take interest in each child’s mental, physical and emotional growth, facilitating the urge of ‘self-discovery’ in each child.



How do Pre-School Help?


There's increasing evidence that children gain a lot from going to Pre-School. At Pre-School, they become exposed to numbers, letters, and shapes. And, more important, they learn how to socialize -- get along with other children, share, contribute to circle time."


Statistics show that nowadays a majority of kids attend Pre-School: According to the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER). "Children who attend high-quality preschool enter School with better pre-reading skills, richer vocabularies, and stronger basic math skills than those who do not," says NIEER director W. Steven Barnett, PhD.


Expert says "Every child should have some sort of group experience before he/she starts school. Music and gymnastics classes are great, but what preschools do that less formal classes don't is teach kids how to be students. Your child will learn how to raise their hand, take turns, and share the teacher's attention. What's more, he/she'll learn how to separate from Mommy or from home. In fact, educators have so recognized the importance of giving kids some form of quality early education in pre-school.


Today’s school curriculum is more focused on academics from day one. Without preschool, many children struggle to adapt to the classroom while those who attended preschool are usually ready to learn. Children who attend preschool are less likely to require special education, more likely to graduate from high school and as adults enjoy higher earnings.

What exactly are they learning?


Classroom etiquette: How to raise your hand, take turns and share the teacher’s attention


Social skills: How to compromise, be respectful of others and problem solve


Literacy skills : Learn a richer vocabulary, better pre-reading skills and familiarization with more books


Math skills: Practice counting, recognizing patterns and geometric shapes

In addition, children who attend preschool can gain a sense of self, increase self-control, and build confidence in their ability to do things 
for themselves.
