About Us

“Teaching children is my purpose.  The development of children fascinates me.  Creating an environment where children can learn and grow to become extraordinary people has always been my dream.”

Our passion

Children are our passion.  We teach because it is our purpose. At Kinder Ark, your child is the heart of our business.  Our goal is to nurture the beauty of individualism, we teach to serve others, and we learn to love our Creator. We are a group of young, dynamic teachers who are constantly developing creative ways of teaching children in a playful and loving environment. The souls of children inspire us to be innovative, motivated and focused on quality education.
All that we are and what we do are under the protection of God.  His Grace and Love for us is celebrated in our lives.  

We live by the promise in Deuteronomy 11:14, “I will give you rain in your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that you mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.” Put your trust in Him, He loves you.

A word from the principal

It is a gift to see a glimpse of life through the eyes of a child.

As teachers, we have the privilege to do this daily. 

Children remind us how to embrace every moment and be grateful for it. 

They have taught me the art of noticing the small details in the beauty of every new day. 

Their joy is contagious. 

Many children have played and written stories in the sand under the Kinder Ark trees. Beautiful tales of imaginative worlds and endless possibilities. 

At Kinder Ark on Val de Vie, we offer children a safe environment where they can explore and discover nature in a secure surroundings. Here we appreciate the majestic mountains, beautiful vineyards, orchards framing our playground. We believe in creativity and quality of education and promote play in all its wonderful forms. We encourage individuality within our diverse learning programme. The programme is continuously built upon by loving teachers to cater to every child’s individual needs.

It is an honour to be part of the Kinder Ark team and serve in a school environment where our Creator and Father is our rock and foundation.
