With rising disposable income and increased share of education in the consumption basket,
private education sector is expected to be a key beneficiary of India’s growth story
India has a growing middle class driving growth in demand for private education
Currently households in India spend less than 5% of disposable income on education compared to
12% in US and 15% in China
Household spending on education has seen a growth CAGR of 8.6% versus consumption growth of
3.2% over 1995-2005
Private education though relatively expensive, is perceived as ‘quality’

6. Trends : Pre-schools are looking at revenue
enhancement through geographic expansion
Many corporate houses have / are planning to set up their own chain of pre-schools - Pre
schools are viewed as attractive investment opportunities due to the growth potential
For e.g. Alphakids set up by Camlin group and Globe Tot’ers by Yash Birla group
Entry of Big Corporates
Joint Ventures with
Builders
Increasingly preschools are forming joint ventures with builders.
Partnering with builders helps in imparting flexibility in the business against high lease rentals
AEZ group and Mothers s Pride entered into a JV for a Preschool
Upgrade to K 12
Preschool chains are moving up the value chain by upgrading to K-12 schools to ensure
scalability for preschool firms
Kidzee, Euro Kids and Kangaroo Kids are upgrading to K-12 schools and a large majority of
their preschool population is expected to be the potential customers for K-12
Demand and affordability is increasing in small towns with the growing awareness among
people about the need to send children to preschools
Euro kids plans to add 1000 pre schools in medium term with Tier II and Tier III cities as
growth drivers
Expansion to Tier I & Tier
II Cities
Leveraging Infrastructure
for economic viability
In order to maximize space utilization, preschools are leveraging the existing infrastructure to
generate additional revenues
Additional programmes are being offered in the same premise in order to allow higher
utilization of the infrastructure
7. Types of Preschools : Concepts
Traditional
Montessori
Waldorf
Sri Aurobindo and
Mother
Alternative
International
Emphasis on bookish knowledge, lectures, homework and tests.
Teaching according to the child’s initiatives. The method discourages tests and grades
and believes in feedback through skills, activities or a narrative of the child’s
achievements, strengths and weaknesses, etc.
Takes its cues as the child develops. Till age seven the child is a creature of will, from
7-14 years the feelings predominate and from 14 to 21 years, the thinking capacity is
the strongest. Stress on artistic elements like song, color, kinesthetic, etc during
elementary days.
Follows the philosophy of ‘Free Progress’. Each child develops in a spontaneous and
self directed process.
Children learn at their own pace. The environment is fluid with little hierarchy. It may not
follow the national examination system. Learning is not only for knowledge but also to
build character.
Focuses on IQ, EQ and SQ for all-round development of child. A blend of technology,
culture and innovation is used for teaching. It is learning by doing.
8. Preschool Business: Positive and Negatives
Rapid proliferation
Capex requirements are also relatively
lower
Positive
Inability to attract preschoolers beyond
a catchment area of 2km, high lease
rentals, intense competition from the
unorganized segment (at considerably
lower cost to customer) and increasing
competition among organized players.
Risk
...proliferation largely driven by
housewife occupation and low capex
requirement (levering existing
premises)
Preschools have a limited target area –
maximum of 2km radius (parents prefer
to send toddlers within a limited radius
for safety/ comfort reasons).
Customers who can afford annual fees
of Rs20,000-45,000, which further limits
the scope of the market.
Soaring rental costs – mounting pressure on
cost structures
City Increase (%)
Average rent (Rs/
sq. ft/ month)
Bangalore 15-20 27-70
Mumbai 45-60 290-400
Delhi 35-70 159-317

The economics of the preschool business, lease
rent forms the largest expense for running a
preschool and can eat into profitability of the
business
9. Economics of a preschool – Franchise Model
Franchisee model
the
most favoured…
A few preschool chains (Kangaroo Kids going in for JVs with developers and Tree House with largely
owned schools), all other players have opted for the franchisee model to scale up.
Under this model, a franchisee has to pay a brand/ franchisee fee (Rs60,000-70,000 pa) as also
some part of the revenues to the franchisor (~20% of total) in lieu of using the latter’s brand name
and for the handholding required to run a preschool.
Economics – Assumptions
Area (sq. ft) 1200
Rent (Rs per sq. ft) 70
3 classrooms @ 250 sq. ft 750
Activity room/ Play area 300
Reception 100
Pantry 50
One-time capex
Furniture and fittings (Rs) 400,000
Misc expenditure 100,000
Total (in Lakhs) 500,000
Assuming a model premise of 1,200 sq. ft with rent at Rs70 per sq. ft. (Only 60% of the total area can be used for
classrooms and a minimum of 10-15 sq.ft per student is considered optimal).
The one-time capex broadly comprises furniture and fittings cost and excludes brand fee ( assumed an average
franchisee fee of Rs200,000, which is renewable every three years and amortized over a period of three years).
Assumed three classes and two batches a day, which translates into a maximum capacity of 20 students per class
(thereby a maximum of 120 students per preschool) and an annual fee of Rs25,000. ( varies from Rs 20k to 40k)

Children Needs
This is a critical period in a
child’s life when specific types of
learning take place. The brain is
especially receptive to
stimulation in the area of
language, for example, during
the first three years. Therefore,
children that are exposed to
speech (talking, reading,
singing, etc) on a regular basis,
exhibit language skills that far
exceed those with little verbal
stimulation.

24. Theme of the Preschool and Daycare - Why Waldorf
and Vedic?
Education in our materialistic society focuses on the intellectual aspect of the human being .It
has chosen largely to ignore the several other parts that are essential to our well being.
These include our life of Feelings (emotions, aesthetics and social sensitivity) and Will Power
(the ability to get things done) and our moral nature (being intuitive about right and wrong).
Without having these developed , we are incomplete- a fact that may become obvious in our
later years , when a feeling of “Emptiness” begins to set in.
Waldorf and Vedic approach in our curriculum bridges this gap .The practical and artistic
approach in the pedagogy nurtures a sensibility that is essential in achieving a preparation for
“Life” in the real world.
Building on being Vedic and Waldorf Inspired…..
