Kindergarten
A warm nest where children grow wild and free. Co-raised by parents and teachers in the embrace of nature.
"Like Pippi Longstocking's House"
When you enter our kindergarten, you feel it immediately. It is not a quiet, sterile institution. It is a home filled with laughter, where children invent games, climb trees, and sometimes even look like they just rolled in the mud.
We believe that before academic learning comes living. Our curriculum is simple: Play well, eat well, and rest well.
Our Way
What makes us different?
Rhythm over Speed
Children find stability in rhythm. We follow the rhythm of the day (inhale/exhale), the rhythm of the week, and the rhythm of Jeju's seasons. We do not rush.
Senses & Nature
Plastic toys are few. Instead, we play with water, soil, stones, and wood. Real experiences build strong bodies and sensitive minds.
Co-Parenting
This is a cooperative. Parents are not customers; they are partners. We raise our children together, share concerns, and grow as a family.
A Day in the Life
Our daily routine is predictable yet full of freedom. This structure gives children a sense of security.
