A Sanctuary for Wonder and Heartfelt Care
Discover a nurturing early childhood education in Gianyar, where children bloom in the magic of childhood, surrounded by the serenity of Bali's rice fields.
Rooted in Ubud Since 2000
In the year 2000, amidst the rustling palm fronds and vibrant greenery of Ubud, Bali Sunny Kids opened its doors with a simple yet profound dream: to create a safe haven where the youngest generation could thrive in harmony with nature and community.
What began as a small family-like community has blossomed into a cherished destination for international/expat families and local parents seeking a nurturing early childhood education in Bali. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a space where every child is deeply seen and their unique rhythm is honored.
For over two decades, we have remained true to our peaceful Gianyar roots, offering a tropical sunshine-filled environment where children can experience the true magic of childhood before the formal pressures of later schooling begin.
The Sunny Philosophy
The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.
— Friedrich Froebel
At Bali Sunny Kids, we believe that children are naturally curious, capable, and full of wonder. Our role as educators is not to "fill" them with information, but to provide the fertile soil in which their interests can bloom.
We embrace a play-based, nature-inspired preschool approach that draws from globally respected philosophies like Reggio Emilia. By following the child's lead and providing gentle bilingual exposure (English primary with natural Bahasa Indonesia & Balinese cultural elements), we foster a lifelong love for discovery.
Our Four Core Pillars
How we nurture your child's journey every day.
Emotional Safety
A low teacher:child ratio (1:6–1:8) ensures every child feels deeply seen, cherished, and emotionally secure.
Playful Learning
Child-led exploration and joyful play-based kindergarten experiences that spark creative problem-solving.
Nature Connection
Daily immersion in Bali’s magical nature, teaching sustainability and respect for our tropical environment.
Family Community
A small, family-like community feel with strong parent partnerships and heart-centered communication.
Guided by Heart, Trained for Excellence
Our teachers are more than educators; they are caring guides who follow children's interests rather than forcing rigid academics.
Every member of our team is chosen for their passionate dedication to early childhood and their ability to create a "home away from home" for your little ones.
We prioritize ongoing training in the latest play-based methodologies and bilingual pedagogy (English and Bahasa Indonesia), ensuring a high standard of care that meets international benchmarks while remaining authentically Balinese.
