Kids Play School also known as Preschool, Nursery school or Kindergarten, Pre-Primary school is an educational set up or learning premises where education is combined with fun and creative activities under the supervision of professionally trained adults. The children between the age group of 3 to 5 are considered to be eligible to attend the school, although as young as 2 can also attend the school.

The play schools in India are increasing both in number and popularity, as nowadays the new generation parents are making it mandatory to send their ward to play school for better exposure. This is because of the increasing awareness among the parents about the importance of providing preschool education to their children. Indeed, play schools play a significant part in enhancing every aspect of children’s development & learning and forms the foundation for physical, emotional, social & intellectual skills. This indicates an increase in the demand for more play schools in India. Thus, opening a play school is one of the most lucrative business ideas for people who are considering starting a business in the education sector. Scope of preschool education is large enough as it is an industry considered to be one of the recession proof industries. With hard work and dedication, one can soon achieve success in this line. For starting a Playschool, one can either choose a franchise or set up one’s own institution. Therefore, one of the best school related business is to start Kids Play School with moderate to little high investment.

In today’s cosmopolitan world of twin working culture and nuclear families, Playschools and day-care centres are thriving. And because education plays one of the most vital roles in a child’s life, parents are even willing to spend money for the bright future of their kids. Also, as per the Preschool or Child Care Market in India 2018-2023 Report, “The market has a huge potential for growth, and this will attract several international schools and kindergartens to get into the market. This, in turn, will lead to a significant change in the educational curriculum.” Education is the key to growth and success. Due to the awareness about education and an increase in the income level of people, it is one field that will never witness a recession. More importantly, the preschool industry is the third largest expenditure group in Indian households. Another reason for its wide scope is that preschool education has its impact on child’s future and overall life besides influence on their family. So all this makes preschools as an integral part of a child’s education at an early stage.
