Our Leadership
"Children are innately curious beings, and all that a preschool needs to do is provide them with a suitable environment and the best infrastructure to drive their natural curiosity to learn."
To us, each child is a seed of a new life; a seed that can, one day, bear the fruits for new possibilities. That's why our unique curriculum focuses on holistic development and not just academics. Children at Koala preschool are given real-world experiences instead of just theories. We place emotional and social well-being at par with intellectual and physical growth, because education isn't what kids can learn, but who they can eventually become.
At Koala, we aim at equipping our kids with tools that will not only help them navigate the world easily, but do it as human beings with great values. To us, that's the true purpose of education. Dr. Anabel Jensen, one of the founders and a senior advisor at Koala preschools is a pioneer in the field of Emotional Intelligence (EQ), or as she calls it, "the yoga for the mind". She believes that a strong EQ would always result in a strong IQ. That's why at Koala, emotional intelligence is at the core of our philosophy. We nurture and create self-reliant and life-long learners, who are ready to face any challenge life throws at them.
The standards for safety, hygiene and ambience at Koala preschools far exceeds the expectations of a parent. We are highly cautious when it comes to the safety of our kids and we're extremely diligent at creating the best possible environment where only laughter and learning thrives.
Although, learning at Koala happens organically, using fun-based approaches, we also recognize the need for meeting the basic standards of preschool education. Koala's preschool programmes are comprehensive and evidence based. After years of research, we have adopted a truly international curriculum, which is a balanced amalgamation of

The curriculum for the preschool programmes are designed by highly-qualified academicians who are educational partners with NAEYC, CAEYC, NZTC and are also members of the American Standard Institute and accredited by the Accreditation system of Australia and New Zealand. Over the years, they have been a major role in designing the curriculum of many revolutionary and successful preschool institutions in the US and Australia. Combining their years of experience in the field of education, the curriculum and the pedagogy at Koala preschools is meticulously crafted to nurture minds that would go on to shape a better tomorrow.
