About Killol

Our Story

Story time at Killol Pre-School

Founded in 1997, Killol was born from a shared dream between a mother and daughter to create a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for children. What began as a daycare operating from their home has grown into one of Surat's most trusted names in early childhood care and preschool education.

The name "Killol", meaning “The Sweet Voice Of Childhood”, perfectly reflects our philosophy of creating a joyful space where every child feels loved, secure, and inspired to learn.

Over the past three decades, Killol has evolved from a trusted daycare into a leading institution for early childhood education and preschool learning. We provide a nurturing environment where children build strong foundations through play-based learning, age-appropriate activities, and holistic development. More than just a daycare, Killol has become a second home for generations of children, fostering their emotional, social, cognitive, and physical growth during their most formative years. Today, we proudly welcome the children of our former students—a testament to the enduring trust, confidence, and lasting relationships we have built with families over the years.
