Our mission
To keep developing innovative, educational and engaging programmes that spark curiosity and a desire to learn in children and their families.
The De Kinder Club story
Every child is a gift.
We believe every child can think creatively, make meaningful choices and grow into an independent, kind and empowered individual.
Our story
Curiosity grows when children are trusted to explore.
Inspired by early education concepts from Europe, De Kinder Club developed a multidisciplinary approach centred on experiential learning.
Our programmes were created to harness each child’s creative potential and help them become innovative and critical thinkers. By respecting children’s autonomy and trusting them to make choices, learning becomes a collaboration rooted in independence and kindness.
What guided us
Mission, values and vision.
Respect
Respecting the autonomy and individuality of every person who walks through our doors.
Independence
Building individuals who can meet adversity, setbacks and life’s unavoidable challenges with confidence.
Collaboration
Contributing to discussions and decisions, then working together as a family to find solutions.
Our vision
A place where little learners, their families and educators love to come every day—where knowledge and relationships are built, and a zest for life is forged.
Meet the bears
Three friends. Three ways to wonder.
Yee, Teeto and Haaki carried the De Kinder Club spirit into every corner of our world.
Yee
Our Asian black bear is an artist at heart. He turns berries and pandan leaves into colours, then fills his friends’ homes with paintings and woven-leaf creations.
Creative · Thoughtful
Teeto
Our curious polar bear loves coding clever solutions—from a robot fish to a flying bowl that could help Yee gather fruit and nuts.
Inquisitive · Inventive
Haaki
Our brown bear found confidence through team sports. He loves an early-morning hike and strives to be a generous, encouraging teammate.

Experience
Lessons engage the senses through experiential learning, inquiry, multiple intelligences and a strong brain–body connection.

The curriculum develops seven connected skillsets across every child’s learning journey.
