More than a decade on from its inception, Kinder Koala Preschool (formerly known as Kids Academy) remains dedicated to providing innovative educational programs for preschool-aged children. The preschool’s team of professionals has over 40 years of combined experience in the field of education and is committed to preparing children not just for primary school, but also for the future. Their passion for inspiring children through quality education has earned them numerous awards and special mentions over the years.
From all perspectives, there’s a lot to love about Kinder Koala that makes it a great choice for families.
Kinder Koala’s core curriculum is augmented by the strengths of a strong, varied list of high quality innovative educational programs. In a magical world of learning opportunities that inspire a love of learning, children are exposed to trilingual immersion programs, including the time-tested Little Learners Love Literacy program from Australia. The Singapore Maths program ignites their minds with a solid understanding of mathematical concepts, while the award-winning FasTracKids program equips them with essential 21st century skills through a combination of interactive activities taught across a wide range of subjects. S.T.E.M. learning using German Hape educational toys bring the wonders of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to life. Additionally, children get to discover the wonders of nature and the great outdoors, prioritizing their overall well-being, in the Forest School program. On top of that, the curriculum is complemented by various other stimulating activities, such as robotics, brain teasers, art and craft, baking and cooking, right- and left-brain training, and excursions. With this creative approach to education, children will learn to embrace curiosity, creativity and innovation.
The preschool prides itself on the reputation of providing a positive early educational journey, with an eye to educating children with international methodologies and the most up-to-date learning tools. One of the approaches used is the Reggio Emilia approach, which encourages children to tap into their own interests of learning, and collaborate with peers to discuss and problem-solve. And much of the learning progress is documented in a visual manner like drawings and works of art, to be reflected upon. Significantly, Kinder Koala incorporates a combination of other cutting-edge methodologies, from Australia to America, that are proven to be effective in nurturing young minds. Ultimately, this creates a foundation for success in all areas of life and lays the groundwork for future academic and personal achievements. To ensure children receive the best possible education to optimize their potential, Kinder Koala keeps abreast of emerging developments and innovations in education.
Kinder Koala builds on the premise that learning happens best when children feel comfortable, safe and included. The educators understand that each child has their own needs for attention, approval and affection, and they work to create an environment that values and supports the child’s individuality and unique needs. Besides, they also promote social-emotional learning (SEL) where they emphasize on social skills, emotional regulation, collaborative problem-solving and relationship-building through a variety of activities, such as group discussions, play and storytelling. By fostering a supportive and nurturing school community, children develop a sense of belonging and are better equipped to navigate social situations with confidence and empathy.
At the heart of Kinder Koala, the happiness and love of learning that children experience is the most important measure of success for the preschool. It employs a team of highly qualified educators who are not only equipped with a professional certification in education but also possess the key qualities that create a positive ripple effect that extends far beyond the classroom. Additionally, they strive to establish open and effective communication with parents through regular updates and progress reports, and work collaboratively to better support each child’s development. Above all, they genuinely enjoy working with children, helping to shape the minds of future leaders and innovators who will make a positive impact in the world.
