About Kidville
Kidville, the number ONE destination for families, aims to make the lives of families with young children more enriching, better and easier, by providing a fun, safe, and clean environment for children to learn, play, and grow. Kidville operates large, upscale facilities, catering to young children and their families, and makes its debut in India through Kwakids Learning Pvt. Ltd. that holds the master rights for Kidville - pan India.
Kidville, an inviting community, is dedicated to offering fun, age-appropriate classes where each child can learn through play and exploration. The paramount focus is on the developmental needs of every child and to help them explore their natural curiosity and develop a life-long love for learning. Our programs are designed by experienced, early childhood developmental experts, with the ultimate goal of helping each child succeed. Our equipment and materials for classes are designed and procured to help facilitate our programs, thereby helping us achieve our ultimate goal. Most of the equipment will be sourced from the US and other specialty vendors that conform to the highest standards, set by Kidville themselves. The Kidville programmes include innovative classes in gym, art, dance, music and a signature pre-school program, Kidville University. These programs are proprietary and are designed to instill confidence and help each child grow physically, socially, and cognitively in a safe, stimulating environment. While they aim to bring the best international practices in learning, Kidville India chose to retain the essence of Indian culture, thereby providing each family with the best of both worlds.
In addition to offering a range of classes for newborns through six year olds, Kidville features a retail boutique filled with high quality children’s toys, fashion and accessories, a signature Kidville Salon for children, an indoor playground and a family friendly café (at select locations). They also host innovative birthday parties for children upto nine years of age, with a number of themes to choose from, programs and camps over the holidays, and other seasonal family events.
Fun and familiar geometric shapes are the design foundation for the Kidville interior space. Used with vibrant colors, the design elements encourage exploration and intuitively guide children throughout the space. This playful and cross-functional design provides the perfect setting for everything from intimate classes to "Big Blow Out" birthday parties. Most importantly, Kidville is dedicated to safety, security, and cleanliness. Only the safest, age-appropriate equipment is used and the facility is kept immaculate at all times.
Currently Kidville has 20 locations spread across US, Egypt & UAE with 4 more in the pipeline. For more information please visit: kidville.com/mumbaiworli
