KinderNest is Sri Lanka's first forest Therapy-endorsed, Australian Bush Play preschool. Located in Habarakada, Homagama, and designed for children aged 3-5 who deserve more than four walls and a whiteboard.
Government endorsed, University researched, Child-led.
INFTA-accredited. The only endorsed preschool in Sri Lanka.
Colonial Grounds, Bamboo, Mango trees, Swimming Pool.
The Australian Bush Play curriculum is a nature based, child-led early childhood framework rooted in Australia’s Early Years learning Framework (EYLF). It is government endorsed, university researched, and rapidly expanding globally.
At KinderNest, the mango trees, bamboo groves, and garden beds are the primary classroom. Weather is not an obstacle. It is a lesson.
University of Melbourne studies found Bush Kinder children develop STEM comprehension, risk assessment, resilience, and social skills at measurably higher rates and the confidence built outdoors transfers directly into classroom learning.
Our curriculum combines structured learning areas with play based experiential content working together so no dimension of growth is left to chance
A School That Looks Like This
Our Habarakada campus was chosen because it already looked like a Bush Play curriculum waiting to be unlocked. The nature was already there.
