Our daughter is just 2 years old and as an only child, we really wanted to look for a school where she can play, learn, and most of all, learn how to socialize. We were thrilled when we first found out about Curious Campers. It reminded us of Calypso’s school in Bluey which we’re a huge fan of! At first, we were very anxious about leaving her in school since she has never spent a single second of her life without either of her parents beside her. You can imagine our joy when we saw that she quickly warmed up to the teachers and the other kids. We also love how the teachers send us updates of her activities within the day—they come with photos too! Although she’s still 2, we’ve decided to keep enrolling her every cycle except perhaps if we’re going to be away for some time to travel or if there are too many holidays during that period (unless make up classes are already a permanent option). Long story short, the Curious Campers has been extraordinary and we would sincerely recommend other parents to enroll their kids here. There aren’t many schools like them in the country and as one of the pioneers of this model, they have sure set the bar high.

When my son was only three months old, I was already trying to find ways to make my life continue working even after having a kid. But I didn’t want to hire a nanny for personal reasons. Lo and behold, Curious Campers was about to open inside the society then. I enrolled my son as early as one year old, but I never had a hard time leaving him in the “playground” (as we call it) because there’s so much to do to support his curiosity and burn his energy.

What I love about this small place is beyond the model. I have felt genuine love and care from the teachers and owner most especially when we reached the “toddler stage”, where my son’s behavioral development was being observed and how the teachers showed willingness to support me, for me to better address my son’s needs. I realized that this is NOT just a childcare center or playschool but rather a community where support is openly available.

Moreover, having this kind of support available enables me to fulfill my other responsibilities.

I’m grateful for this community and our caregivers for everything they do.

After weeks of establishing routines and familiarizing the environment, our son now comfortably plays with his classmates and tunes with nature. He happily walks out with either soaked or sand-filled shoes, and didn’t mind getting barefoot too. The outdoor classroom and hands-on experience definitely nurture his curious mind. And we commend the teachers for making sure that the children are safe, learning and also having fun!

We are very grateful for all the teachers and staff of the Curious Campers playschool for taking good care of Toby. He has learned so much, especially on his social skills. We also like that the main focus of the school is on the outdoor, which Toby loves.

Everyday is a blast for Mikael at Curious Campers. He looks forward to activities like storytelling, artworks, problem-solving exercises, free play in a nature vibe, and the fun music. As parents, we love how you take learning beyond four walls. The outdoor setting allows the kids to develop their curiosity, creativity and confidence. Thank you Curious Campers for making the school experience for every child an enjoyable one, especially for Mikael.

Our child comes home every day telling us stories about how fun it is to be in school. The play-based learning approach is amazing! The way you are making education 'fun while learn' speaks volumes about the efforts you do. I am seeing improvement and confidence level in my child's overall personality development and physical activity.

Great outdoor space for kids to run wild with their imagination, play with other kids, and down right just have tons of fun. Very professional and good teachers. Our 3 year old, who typically takes time to warm up, adjusted pretty fast and didn’t want to go home when we pick him up — goes to show how much fun he has at Curious Campers!

Charlotte Mason inspired teaching i would say is very effective for us since my daughter loves nature study and hands on learning. She tried summer class programs but never allowed me to leave her in class so I was very surprised when she let me go during her first day at the Curious Campers! I already have other mommy friends who inquired and hopefully they enroll their children too!

My daughter loved Curious Campers!
Prior to joining the centre, she was timid and generally afraid to interact with adults and kids alike. After a few sessions, I've noticed some changes in her personality. She's become more open to socialize, play and talk to other people (even to strangers!) Now she is more confident in attending a bigger preschool - I learned from her teachers and other parents that she's one of the most friendly in her class! Thank you Curious Campers!

The teachers are very personable and they provide lots of good photos and feedback so that you can also appreciate the experience of your child. Definitely recommend this playschool for toddlers!

Maggie, Mom

Initially my daughter was a bit hesitant being left alone at a new place. But after a day or two she really adjusted well and even mentioned missing Child Care when she was at home. She really loves the place specially the outdoor time - which made me primarily select this place. My daughter also made lots of friends here, she remembers their name, even her teacher's name because she is so fond of them. I believe this really helped her with socializing with kids her age and even with adults (teachers). The activity time they usually have outdoor is a great bonus.

Thank you so much Curious Campers!

Clarissa, Mom

My son is always excited to go to the day care and work on activities with his classmates and teachers. When he gets home, he’s very eager to share what he learned and did during the day. At the day care, he learned how to write letters and count numbers; he now know how to share and wait for his turn.

We’re convinced that bringing our son to the child care helps his mental and social development. We’re very happy that we have access to this kind of service/facility.

More than just a Child Care, they have a progressive approach and make learning really fun with a lot of outdoor based play and activities, allowing my child to thrive! The teachers are fantastic and I highly recommend them!

Raymond, Dad

We drove 30km to try Curious Campers and it was so worth the drive! My 3-year-old absolutely loved his experience. As soon as I dropped him off, he instantly gravitated towards the outdoor toys. When I told him I would leave already, he just nodded and let me go. I left him for 8 hours (the longest we've ever been apart!) Safe to say, I was more anxious than he was. When I picked him up, he was in high spirits and animatedly shared with me the things he did in school.

I was told he only cried because he was looking for a bottle of milk (which I was trying to wean him off from) But other than that, he really enjoyed his experience!

I believe every child's learning style is different but as for my son who loves the outdoors, getting dirty, and everything tactile, this is perfect for him.

Also, as a Mom dropping his child off to school for the first time, I absolutely loved how they have an app that updated me with my son with photos, how much he ate for lunch, etc.
