●        Plans to establish 20+ new preschools, bringing quality early childhood education closer to children and families across Gujarat

Ahmedabad, 08 July 2026: Gujarat’s industrial growth and urban development are transforming communities across the state. As these communities continue to thrive, access to quality early childhood education is becoming increasingly important. At the same time, parents are placing greater emphasis on giving their children the strongest possible foundation during their formative years.

Responding to this evolving landscape, EuroKids, India’s leading preschool expert, today announced plans to expand access to quality early childhood education across Gandhidham, Surendranagar, Morbi, Navsari, Mehsana, Bharuch, Valsad, Bhuj, Jamnagar and Vapi. EuroKids aims to establish more than 20 new preschools over the next 10 months, bringing quality early childhood education closer to children and families across Gujarat.

Across these 10 cities, sustained investments in logistics, manufacturing, renewable energy and infrastructure are driving economic growth and shaping thriving communities. Gandhidham and Bhuj continue to benefit from port-led logistics and warehousing, Bharuch is emerging as a major petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals hub, while Morbi’s ceramics industry and Jamnagar’s refining and renewable energy ecosystem continue to contribute to the region’s economic growth. Across Valsad, Vapi, Navsari and Mehsana, industrial expansion and improving infrastructure are fostering vibrant communities and increasing demand for quality preschool education.

Speaking on the expansion, KVS Seshasai, CEO – Pre-K Division, Lighthouse Learning, said, “At EuroKids, we have always believed that the early years play a defining role in shaping a child’s confidence, curiosity and lifelong love for learning. Today, parents across Gujarat are placing greater emphasis on giving their children the strongest possible start in life, and our endeavour is to make quality early childhood education more accessible to families across the state. Through this expansion, we will partner with education entrepreneurs who share our commitment to creating meaningful learning experiences for young children.”

This expansion also builds on EuroKids’ broader commitment to raising awareness about the importance of early childhood education through its Sahi Shuruaat movement. Rooted in the belief that the first six years of a child’s life lay the foundation for lifelong learning and development, the movement encourages parents to make informed choices during their child’s earliest years. As EuroKids strengthens its presence across Gujarat, it aims to ensure that more children have access to nurturing, play-based early learning experiences.

For over two decades, EuroKids has remained at the forefront of early childhood education through its Harvard University -inspired Heureka curriculum, which is aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and rooted in experiential and play-based learning. The curriculum nurtures curiosity, creativity, critical thinking and holistic development during a child’s formative years, helping children build strong foundations across emotional, physical, intellectual and creative development.

As part of this expansion, EuroKids is inviting aspiring education entrepreneurs to establish new preschools across the identified cities. Its franchise network includes teachers, school administrators and education enthusiasts who are passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences for young children. Through end-to-end support across curriculum, teacher training, operations, marketing and school management, EuroKids enables its partners to build meaningful education enterprises while creating lasting impact in their communities.

Having nurtured one million children across 2,000 preschools in more than 550 cities, EuroKids continues to set benchmarks in early childhood education. Through this expansion, the brand reaffirms its commitment to bringing quality early learning closer to more families across Gujarat, building not just school-ready children, but confident, compassionate and capable individuals prepared for life.
