About Us

The early years of a child are the formational years. This is when we cultivate a child’s cognitive, social, physical, emotional and cultural skills, so that these skills can be moulded into the best of the child’s abilities in later schooling years.

They form an understanding and opinion of everything during this time. How they learn and what they learn during these years define the outlook and approach they will develop towards education and the world in general later in life.

To that end, Kanakia Kids, is a place of adventure, growth and learning for pre-schoolers. We use play-based and child-centric pedagogies to provoke children’s curiosity and constantly challenge their thinking.

Rupal Kanakia

Chairperson – Kanakia Kids

I have always been passionate about learning. So much so that I believe education is the tool that will help me empower the women and youth of the country.

For two decades, the Kanakia family has strived hard to impart quality education and I am now going to lead by example. I have always wanted to become one of the game changers in the educational space in the country.

Having grown up studying within the Indian Education dynamic and later learning how and why the rote learning methods are just not enough, I understand the needs of the system and am very well equipped with my relevant experience of leading various educational institutions and with my education and knowledge in the field gained by attending various training programs, conferences, and workshops about being an educator.

The culmination of all of the above has led to the bright start of Kanakia Kids, a pre-school with a unique curriculum for Early Years Education, that boasts of a learning environment designed specially to provoke curiosity and constantly challenge a child’s thinking. As a founder of this new venture, that is a place of adventure, growth and learning, I hope to realize my destiny of brining the best of international learning pedagogies to the country and enlighten the young minds of the 21st century learners.

Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn.
