Kindy
Our Kindy program is based on the Indonesian Curriculum for TK A & TK B (Preschool & Kindergarten), but we add our own style to it. We use the content of the National Curriculum and team it with training that our staff have had from our Australian partners, to provide a modern and relevant Kindy program for your children. We want to do all we can to prepare your children for a successful and fruitful time in Primary school and beyond. The program is delivered in English with children learning additional vocabulary in Bahasa Indonesia.

Our monthly focus for both age groups are the same, but are explored differently. Our AA class will introduce and strive to lay a strong foundation for understanding in the topic like identification and vocabulary.
The 4 Developmental
areas we teach are
Skills Development
Skills in language, music, movement, creativity, emotional expression, problem-solving, and self-help.
Social Development
A healthy life includes discipline, confidence, teamwork and honesty.
Moral Development
Respect and appreciation for ourselves, for others and for our environment is important.
Cognitive Development
There is so much to learn in the world with people, technology, art & culture. We use our senses to observe, ask and collect information to play, learn and explore.
Extra-Curricular Activities
Every month we will complete an extra-curricular activity, something different from the usual learning. Like swimming, painting, traditional dance or music. We will advise what it is through our Monthly Learning Focus and WhatsApp message. We will also go out into the community several times a semester (with parent involvement encouraged) visiting various places of interest for the children around the Bukit and Bali.
Snacks & Nutrition
We offer the children fruit for morning snack, should your child prefer something else, we welcome families send a clearly labelled lunchbox of food your child can eat at this time. We ask Families to please support us in teaching your child about good Nutrition habits. We teach the children about ‘Everyday Food’ & ‘Sometimes Food’. Therefore we ask that children please do not bring candy/chocolate/lollies to Daycare. Occasionally we will celebrate Birthdays with Cake or other ‘sometimes food’. Children are always offered this after they have eaten their lunch. To respect all families and keep all children safe, children will not share lunchbox food.
Uniform
We have a schedule for what the children should wear each day.

FAQ
What Reports will we receive?
My Day: Every Child is individually observed every 2 months to ensure they are meeting developmental milestones whilst also recording their joys and interests at this special age. These are written in English by our experienced Educators and electronically sent to you with photos.
Our Day: Each day families will receive some photos and a short explanation of what the children have been learning. Families can use this to start conversations at home with children about their learning here at Kindy.
Semester Report: Every December & June families will receive a report as issued by the government, this will be supplied in English also for families that do not speak Bahasa Indonesian. In December this report needs to be returned after being read at home, this is so that it can be completed for the end of year in June.
What time should my Child be at BaliLife?
To maintain the integrity of our Kindy classrooms, we ask that all families respect our 8am start time and promptly arrive by 8:00am. Our children will begin with 30minutes of physical activity in the garden. Lateness to class can mean that your child misses out on outdoor fun and educational experiences leaving them feeling left out or behind in learning.
What can my child eat at Kindy?
We offer the children fruit for morning snack, but you’re welcome to bring other food for your child as well. If bringing food from home, please label it clearly.
