Message from the Chairperson

Since its founding, our kindergarten has been committed to early childhood education based on the belief that the early years are the most important period for laying the foundation of a child’s character. One of the pillars of our educational philosophy is “connecting with nature and learning from it.” Through experiences in the natural world, children engage their five senses to understand the world around them, naturally cultivating intellectual curiosity and a scientific mindset.

Interacting with the trees, flowers, insects, and birds in our garden naturally sparks questions like “Why do leaves change color?” or “What does this insect eat?” By staying close to these questions, our educators help expand the children’s thinking and nurture the seeds of learning. These daily experiences form the foundation for children to learn independently and think critically.

While we continue to cherish our long-standing educational philosophy, we also strive to adapt flexibly to the changes of modern society. In today’s increasingly digital and globalized world, children need the ability to form and express their own opinions, work collaboratively to solve problems, and respect diverse values. To support this, we are incorporating ICT into our programs and designing childcare content with diversity in mind, aiming to unlock each child’s unique potential.

Moving forward, we will continue to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can grow and develop into individuals who thrive both socially and globally.

Message from the Principal

At Pinocchio Kindergarten, we believe that the early years of a child’s education lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Our goal is to nurture independent, inquisitive, and well-prepared children who are ready to take their next steps into primary school with enthusiasm and resilience.

For over four decades, we have been committed to providing a learning environment where children can grow both academically and emotionally. Rooted in the educational philosophy of Friedrich Froebel, our approach emphasizes hands-on exploration, creativity, and character building. Through engaging activities, outdoor experiences, and meaningful connections, we help children develop a strong sense of self, a love for learning, and the skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Together, with our dedicated teachers and your invaluable support, we will continue to provide the best possible foundation for their future success.
