LEARN BY DOING

Play. Explore. Grow.

Our CAPS-based curriculum turns learning into a living, joyful adventure—preparing little minds for big futures.

Children build skills through movement, stories, and play—every lesson crafted to nurture confidence and curiosity.

Rooted in the CAPS program and shaped by Christian values, our teaching approach blends structure with soul.

FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Each Child is Unique.

“At Kiaat Ridge, every child is known, valued, and encouraged to grow in confidence and kindness.

We believe early childhood is a sacred season—one where joy, structure, and love pave the way for lifelong learning.

Thank you for considering us as part of your family’s journey.”
