?Safari Kid to have 100 centres by 2021

Safari Kid, an international preschool chain, plans to have 100 centres by 2021. Safari Kid, founded in the Silicon Valley, offers one of the best preschool and after school programs for children. Currently, the brand is operational via three centres in India including Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore and eyes on expanding in metros and mini metros.

Jitendra Karsan, CEO India, Safari Kid says: "We are planning aggressive expansion pan-India as the preschool industry still has to mature and we see very few players in quality preschool education space. Eduprenuers can certainly help, if they learn more about this space and try to add value rather than becoming another me too player.”

He further adds, “Preschool business has to be operated like any service sector business but demands more sensibility. As a care giver there is so much that can be done and hence training the staff regularly as well as motivating them is very important. Franchise brand can grow if quality and experience is maintained across all centres.”

Currently, Safari Kid offers opportunity for Franchisee- Owned and Franchisee- Operated (FOFO) model as well as Franchisee- Owned and Company- Operated (FOCO) model. With over eight years of experience, the brand has 21 centers across the world and provides customised, personalised and international curriculum to suit every child’s learning style, with classes based on ability, rather than age.
