Welcome to the Kiddywinks website.
We hope that it gives you a taste of this very special school, and that
it will encourage you to visit us to see the school in action for yourself.
Kiddywinks is an International Montessori Kindergarten and a Forest
School serving students aged 3 to 5
years in the local and international community. It provides a creative,
constructive and investigative approach to learning through the opportunities
that the world outside and nature itself offer and thanks to many resources
available in our outdoor and indoor spaces. Our commitment to bilingualism and
the delivery of a relevant and individual educational programme are at the core
of our work. We recognise the unique skills and knowledge required for a
complex, rapidly changing world by providing for an holistic approach to
learning. Educating the whole child is
fundamental to our approach and our students develop into self-confident, well
rounded individuals.
Kiddywinks is guided by international teachers, Forest School
practitioners and Montessori qualified teachers. All teaching takes place
through balanced English and Italian activities. We are honored to welcome
different nationalities amongst our student population. Our staff represent qualifications and
experiences in both Italian and International curricula.
Kiddywinks is truly a unique dynamic school with our children at the
centre of all we do. Students are empowered and encouraged to cultivate their
natural curiosity, find their passions and interests, and use these as
inspiration for their experiences. The welcoming family atmosphere means
students quickly build a sense of connection and identity with their school
where learning relationships are strong.
The Kiddywinks community is proud of our school and we invite you to
explore the pages of this website and look forward to your visit and welcoming
you to our community.
