Starting a preschool franchise with Smartkidz Global is simple and structured. Once you apply for a franchise, our team guides you through each step—from selecting the right location, designing infrastructure, and getting government approvals, to setting up classrooms and hiring trained teachers. We provide complete end-to-end support, so even first-time entrepreneurs can confidently launch their own Smartkidz preschool franchise in India. With over 285 centres across India, Smartkidz has a proven model that reduces setup time and helps you reach break-even faster compared to traditional franchises.

The total investment to start a Smartkidz playschool franchise typically ranges between ₹7 lakhs to ₹12 lakhs, depending on your location and scale. This includes infrastructure setup (approx. 2,000 sq. ft built-up space + outdoor play area), classroom furniture and learning aids, curriculum materials and teaching kits, marketing and branding support, and teacher training programs. Unlike other high-cost education franchises, Smartkidz keeps the investment affordable while maximizing ROI, making it one of the best low-investment preschool franchises in India.

Smartkidz Global offers a franchise-based model where you operate under the Smartkidz brand name and benefit from our curriculum, training, and marketing support. While many preschool chains charge heavy royalties, Smartkidz is known for offering an affordable model that ensures franchisees retain higher profits and recover their investment quickly. For exact details on royalty structure and financial agreements, please connect with our franchise development team.

One of Smartkidz Global’s strongest advantages is fast breakeven. Most centres achieve breakeven with just 45 enrolled students.
Typically:

• With 25–30 students you reach operational breakeven.
• With 35–40 students you recover your initial preschool franchise investment.
• Because Smartkidz is a recognized preschool brand with proven demand across India, enrolments happen faster compared to setting up an independent school.

When you become a Smartkidz partner, you don’t walk alone—we provide comprehensive franchise support. Our support includes location and infrastructure guidance, our award-winning child-centred curriculum, teacher training and recruitment assistance, full marketing and publicity support, technology tools for operations, and ongoing operational handholding. This makes Smartkidz one of the best preschool franchise opportunities in India for first-time entrepreneurs.

Smartkidz follows a play-way and activity-based learning model that blends global best practices like Montessori and Waldorf with Indian cultural values. It covers Playgroup, Nursery, LKG, UKG, and early primary (Classes 1–2), focusing on language, numeracy, motor skills, creativity, and socio-emotional growth. It includes special activity rooms and uses a Concrete-to-Abstract approach. Our curriculum is fully aligned with the New Education Policy (NEP 2020) and National Curriculum Framework (NCF), making it a future-ready preschool franchise.

No, you don’t need prior experience in teaching or school management. Many Smartkidz franchise owners come from diverse backgrounds such as business, IT, healthcare, and homemaking. With extensive teacher training, operational support, and marketing guidance provided by Smartkidz HQ, even first-time entrepreneurs can confidently run their preschool.

Smartkidz serves children aged 2 to 8 years, covering the Foundational Stage as defined by the NEP. This includes Playgroup (2+ years), Nursery (3+ years), LKG (4+ years), UKG (5+ years), and Early Primary (Classes 1 & 2 for 6–8 years). This ensures continuity for parents and better enrolment stability for franchise owners.

Yes. Smartkidz has been recognized nationally and internationally, including Best Preschool for Child Development in India (Global Education Excellence Award 2017), Innovation in Preschool Education (World Education Summit 2014), and the Early Child Playschool Chain Award (Estrade Education Award, Singapore 2017). These recognitions strengthen parent trust and improve enrolment rates at Smartkidz centres.

Starting an independent preschool means you handle everything alone—curriculum design, branding, teacher training, marketing, and parent trust-building. This requires higher costs, longer setup time, and higher risk. With Smartkidz Global, you benefit from a recognized national preschool brand with parent trust, 285+ successful centres as proof of concept, an award-winning curriculum, complete training and marketing support, and a low-investment, high-ROI business model. In short: You reduce risks, attract parents faster, and achieve profitability sooner.
