Story
About Us
Welcome to Kidspia Preschool,
where we believe that every child deserves exceptional education and care during their formative years. Choosing the right school for your child is a crucial decision, and we're here to provide a safe, comfortable, nurturing, and peaceful environment for children aged 24 months to 5 years.
At Kidspia, we believe that children learn best when they're engaged in meaningful experiences that encourage lifelong learning.
Our focus is on creating an environment that fosters curiosity, problem-solving, creativity, perseverance, and communication. We encourage children to explore new things both inside and outside, and to collaborate with their teachers and peers to pursue their intellectual interests.
Our teachers are dedicated to understanding each child's unique needs and observing their play to develop opportunities for growth and development. We believe that the learning process should focus on how to think, rather than what to think, and we give our children the time and space to develop these essential skills.
We believe that laughter and leisure are just as important as academic achievement, and we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive community where every child feels valued and supported.

What children learn does not follow as an automatic result from what is taught, rather, it is in large part due to the children’s own doing, as a consequence of their activities and our resources.

Philosophy
At Kidspia Preschool, our philosophy is rooted in constructivism and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. We have a strong mission to return nature back to childhood, as we believe that connecting with the natural world is essential for the well-being and development of young children.
We are committed to social-emotional learning and conscious parenting philosophies, recognizing that a nurturing environment is essential for children to grow and thrive. Our approach focuses on providing children with rich opportunities to explore, discover, and construct knowledge in ways that deepen their own understanding.
Children at Kidspia are encouraged to interact freely with each other and pursue their cognitive curiosity through a variety of modes of learning. We believe that every child possesses '100 languages' of expression, and we strive to create an environment where each child's unique voice is heard and valued.
We see learning as a collaborative process, and we encourage children to build meaningful relationships with the community and environment around them. Our approach is grounded in documenting each child's learning journey, sharing their progress daily through digital means and classroom displays.
Our goal is to create meaningful conversations between the child, the parent, and the teacher, recognizing that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for the growth and development of our students. At Kidspia, we are committed to supporting our children as lifelong learners, helping them to develop the skills and abilities they need to navigate the world around them with confidence and curiosity.
