WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US
“We discovered Wilderness through recommendations from a couple of close friends and the moment we entered we knew it was a very special school. The classrooms all have large windows to allow natural light to enter. The toys and activities are all done using natural items such as wood, seeds, rocks, plants, water which enhance the brains natural learning. The founder, headmistress and teachers are all passionate about growing kids emotionally as well as artistically and intellectually. A very special and unique part of this school is the outdoor garden which allows the kids to hear the birds, play in the sandpit, water the plants, challenge themselves with obstacle courses and indulge in lots of messy fun play. Kids thrive in this rich environment. I cannot recommend this school enough. It has everything that I believe so many Hong Kong schools are lacking. It really is a little gem and a much needed shift in how our kids are nurtured and educated. “ - Tanja
"For the past year my son Matthew has had a wonderful opportunity to grow, learn and develop in what I think is Hong Kong's best kindergarten - Wilderness.
Wilderness has enlighten our entire family on how a high quality educational experience impacts on a child's entire life. Thank you Wilderness!" - Alex & Jasmine
"Wilderness is a very special place, we joined in January 2017, when it first opened its doors, the vision and focus was exactly what I wanted for my daughter's first learning experience. It is a real unique find in Hong Kong, with stunning open space and light, natural and earthy furniture and toys it is a calm and welcoming environment. The addition of such a fun outdoor space is just invaluable in Hong Kong. One of the most wonderful aspects of Wilderness is that the children have the freedom to move around from the garden, to the imagination room, painting room to classroom, which allows them to have a varied experience each time they come. My daughter has enjoyed learning baking skills, tackling obstacle courses, building sandcastles, watering plants, and so much more. The interaction between children and the teachers is amazing - all of whom at Wilderness are exceptionally friendly, caring and excellent at engaging with all the children. My daughter leaves every class happy and wanting to stay for more!" -Paula
“We are so happy that we have enrolled our son at Wilderness Kindergarten. As soon as you enter you are greeted by such friendly, engaging, and nurturing educators. They take the time to know each child and their families. Every day we hear stories and are given detailed feedback about the fun, adventures and learning that he has experienced; reinforced by photos and the newsletters. Wilderness Kindergarten addresses the educational needs of each child as well as their emotional and social well-being. The children participate in activities that encourage them to engage, socialise and analyse the world around them, enriching their lives and forming a love of learning. Wilderness promotes a wonderful community spirit in a beautiful natural setting.” – Sally
“Wilderness, is a preschool which utilises the rich teaching opportunities and discoveries of nature with a strong emphasis on the Reggio Emilia approach. The classrooms are both indoors and outdoors, allowing students to explore, play and apply early concepts in math, literacy, science and ecology. Students also participate in yoga, cooking, Mandarin, and various forms of artistic expression. Great mixture of nurture and challenge. In my opinion, a very special school, whose founder, exhibits, sincere and genuine passion for a child’s emotional, social and academic well-being. “ – Anne Murphy, Director, ITS Education Asia (School Advisory Services)
“When looking for a preschool for our son, we had three priorities. Healthy, messy outdoor play; an internationally renown educational approach supporting creativity and experimentation; and warm, supportive teachers able to stimulate and encourage our son. We found this and more at Wilderness; a true gem – a kindergarten with a lovely home feel where children can grow plants, play in the sandpit, and bake in the kitchen overlooking the garden; alongside state-of-the-art learning resources, a beautiful, light-filled environment, and energetic, highly knowledgeable staff who seem to always be setting up yet another interesting learning opportunity for the children. We could not feel luckier to have found this little oasis in Hong Kong”~ The Orlando Family
I simply love Wilderness for my twin girls Emelia and Sienna! The teachers are incredible and highly knowledgable, the centre is is full of natural light and I love the use of natural resources instead of plastics. The whole kindergarten is enhanced with plants and herbs in a beautiful sunny outdoor school yard for play, sports and gardening. We just love it! The development in Emelia and Sienna since coming to Wilderness has been outstanding and each day there are new activities and adventures for them to be immersed in.
