about us
Wilderness International Kindergarten aims to provide a nurturing and secure environment in which your child can develop intellectually, socially, physically and emotionally. At Wilderness children will connect to nature every day through a balanced approach to structured learning, discovery activities, and enriching play in our own nature garden and outdoor play space.
These experiences are planned and facilitated by internationally recruited world-class early childhood educators. In addition to our special environment and designer facilities at Wilderness, it is our passionate and highly skilled educators that make our kindergarten unique. Our teachers come from around the world and facilitate an environment that is secure, nurturing and focused on delivering a holistic learning curriculum.
Every child is unique and we teach our children to respect and celebrate differences, maintain their natural curiosity and uphold their intrinsic eagerness to discover and learn.

Welcome to Wilderness International Kindergarten!
At Wilderness, we believe that all children are capable of learning, and that they thrive through a pedagogy that respects their individual development and personal interests.
Play-based education is at the heart of the Wilderness approach. We see children as capable of constructing their own learning, and our teachers act as facilitators to extend and scaffold their ideas. Through play-based learning, children develop essential skills like natural curiosity, perseverance, social interaction, communication, problem-solving, creativity, self-expression, and autonomy. This fosters a lifelong love for learning.
Our curriculum provides ample opportunities for children to connect with nature. We believe that connecting children to the environment is a fundamental human need, and each day they have time and space to bond with nature in our stunning outdoor garden.
At Wilderness, we are committed to developing happy, confident, creative, and well-functioning individuals who think critically. We empower children to make choices, fostering their executive functioning skills and preparing them for success.
We invite you to explore our website and learn more about our Wilderness community. Our staff are available to answer your questions, and we welcome you to join us for a tour and a complimentary trial.
"It’s the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives."
