New Delhi, August 21st, 2025: Footprints Childcare, a purpose-driven preschool and daycare chain transforming early childhood education in India, announced its rapid expansion journey with over 190+ centres across 26 cities, serving more than 50,000 parents and 10,000+ active enrollees. The brand now aims to scale up to 325 centres pan-India by 2026, with plans to accelerate its footprint in key metro hubs including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad, strengthening its position as one of the fastest-growing players in the sector.

Founded in 2013, Footprints was born out of the founders’ personal parenting journey and their realisation of a clear gap in quality, transparency, and safety in India’s childcare ecosystem. What started as a mission to build a trusted, technology-enabled learning environment has today grown into a movement redefining early childhood education with empathy, innovation, and global best practices.

Despite the pandemic setback, Footprints resumed operations in 2022. The brand raised USD 7.5 million in Series A funding from Tanglin Venture Partners in May 2025 to enhance its technology infrastructure and fuel future growth. With audited revenue of ₹56.6 crore in FY24, the company is targeting 40% growth in FY25.

Speaking on the milestone, Raj Singhal, Co-founder of Footprints, said, “At Footprints, we believe the early years of a child’s life lay the foundation for everything that follows. Our mission has always been to provide an environment that combines safety, transparency, and global-quality education. Scaling to 325 centres by 2026 is not just an expansion goal; it’s our commitment to ensuring more children across India experience a nurturing, tech-enabled, and research-backed start to their learning journey.” 

Footprints stands out as India’s only preschool chain using the HighScope Curriculum, backed by technology-enabled transparency, an all-women trained workforce, safety-first infrastructure, and eco-conscious practices. With its scalable hybrid model, the brand ensures consistent quality while expanding rapidly across the country.
