Chennai, Tamil Nadu (February 02, 2026) – Kidus Optimus, the early childhood learning wing of FIITJEE Global School, has been recognised as an Excellent Preschool at the Times Education Icons 2025-26, Chennai Schools, Pre Schools and Education Institutions Survey.
This recognition brings attention to something often overlooked. The importance of the first seven years of a child’s life.
Kidus Optimus was built on a simple belief. Early childhood is not the time for academic pressure. It is the time to build how a child thinks, feels, speaks, and relates to the world.
Designed for children between three and seven years, the preschool follows a neuroscience-informed approach that focuses on cognitive growth, emotional security, language development, and sensory learning.
Children here do not sit through long academic sessions. They learn through storytelling, phonics activities, music, movement, creative play, and early STEM exposure. Curiosity is encouraged. Exploration is natural. Learning happens without fear.
“The early years shape how children think and communicate for the rest of their lives. Our goal is to protect the joy of childhood while building strong foundations,” said a senior academic representative from Kidus Optimus.
The preschool environment is carefully designed to make children feel safe, expressive, and confident. Teachers focus on observation and gentle guidance rather than instruction and correction.
Kidus Optimus also places strong emphasis on parent involvement. The school conducts regular interactive sessions titled “How to Raise a Supernova Child,” where parents understand how early experiences influence long-term learning outcomes.
These sessions help families see why emotional stability, communication skills, and sensory development matter more than early academics.
This award recognises Kidus Optimus as a preschool that respects childhood, understands brain development, and prepares children for schooling in the right way.
It also reflects FIITJEE Global School’s larger philosophy that education must begin with strong foundations before moving towards academic achievement.
By the time children move from Kidus Optimus into formal schooling, they carry confidence, curiosity, communication ability, and emotional maturity with them. That is the real success of early learning.
