Since 2018, Kotton Fields Preschool has lovingly guided and nurtured young minds, helping children take their first confident steps into learning. Inspired by visits to a Waldorf School in Stuttgart, the Reggio Emilia Exhibition Centre in Italy, and to one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens – De Hortus in the Netherlands, we have created a world where children can learn and play in a natural environment. After completing Nursery Teacher Training (NTT), we were proud to welcome our first batch of students in 2019. Despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic, we were able to come up with our own solution in the form of homeschooling as well as ‘Practivity Kits’ to ensure that learning at home is both fun and effective.
The curriculum of the school focuses on the overall development of the child including his or her cognitive, physical and social development. Gardening and art classes which are part of our curriculum help the child to be creative and learn through practical activities. Our kids’ library has helped in the development of language and literacy skills and more specifically in encouraging children to read and share books with their parents.
Kids have access to our cozy library, where they can discover a wide selection of books and borrow them to read at home. Not only does this inspire their imagination, but it also builds family relationships through quality reading time.
Our art sessions, taught by a professional artist, invite children to use their imagination in painting and drawing. This hands-on learning experience improves their fine motor skills while developing confidence and appreciation for the arts.
Children get their hands dirty in our garden, where they sow, tend, and discover nature. This activity instills environmental awareness, responsibility, and curiosity about the natural environment.
Our safe and interactive play space is created to encourage physical activity and socialization. It enables children to share, and learn about teamwork, all while enjoying themselves.
We are proud to have a team of qualified, trained, and experienced teachers who are passionate about early childhood education. Each teacher understands that every child is unique and learns at their own pace.
With professional training in preschool education and hands-on classroom experience, our teachers create a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment. They use age-appropriate teaching methods, play-based activities, and positive guidance to help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Above all, they are caring mentors who build strong bonds with children, encourage confidence, and make learning a joyful experience every day.
