KINDER, KINDER, KINDER : )


Dear Kinder Parent,

What are the things that you can expect from us and from our very homey little school?

* an environment conducive to learning
* a small student-teacher ratio 12:1
* caring and well-educated teachers
* the presence of an authentic security guard
* child-friendly amenities --- low sink, durable kiddie chairs and tables, clean comfort rooms, airconditioned rooms
* a pre-set developmentally-appropriate curriculum
* seminars for parents and yayas
* Fun yet simple activities like the KOF Fiesta, a Halloween celebration through Prayer, a meaningful Christmas celebration with a chosen community, two mini educational field trips and a culminating activity that always leaves the parents teary-eyed.
*teacher-made materials and computer-aided instruction
* kids know that there is a time for play and a time for work

What will your child learn from us after one school year?

He/she will learn about…

*the values of sharing with others, caring for people, plants and animals, charity and service
*appreciating God and all His wonderful gifts
*socializing with others and learning to control emotions
*being able to answer simple questions in straight English
* the importance of books and how fascinating it is to READ stories!
* reading and comprehending phrases, sentences and stories
*following simple written instruction, working independently, being able to work with a group, adding and subtracting bigger numbers, identifying numbers up to 1000, name words, action words, fractions
* cooking and baking simple meals/pastries
*setting the table, packing away, lacing, tying laces, pouring water into a glass, folding a shirt…

The list goes on and I do know that not everyone has the time to read through a long list of promises. Let me end this simply…

some more info...



KOF is the only school in the Marikina Area that boasts of a very small teacher-student ratio. For our Junior Nursery class, the ratio is 1:8. That means, there are only 8 students per class. For Senior Nursery, Kinder and Prep, maximum student number is 12.

So how much? It doesn't really cost an arm and a leg, especially considering that the center is now currently undergoing construction to accommodate more students, the rooms are all air-conditioned and paints and art supplies are all imported. The directress and teachers are all well-trained and are all MA students (with three who are MA candidates). The administrator is a PhD graduate in the field of Child and Family Studies!
