Aruba is the home country of the founder of our Kinderhouse program. It is an honour to bring the unique and innovative Kinderhouse program and approach to early education to the children of Aruba. Kinderhouse Aruba offers a beautiful campus including outdoor and nature education. The open-concept classrooms flow naturally from indoor to outdoor. The learning environment is designed to combine the best of the philosophical approaches, aesthetics and innovation in early education.
Our community hub model provides for a variety of educational programs serving Aruban children through full and part-day options with a focus on building a solid foundation in the early years.

KidVentures (Ages 3 & up)
Our new outdoor program, KidVentures, aims to develop a sense of understanding and respect for nature and the environment through shared outdoor experiences. Using safety-oriented, creative and fun outdoor activities, children will learn how to live in harmony with nature and foster a sense of community within it. Imagine tracking animal footprints in the snow, following treasure maps through our forested area, building a compost and gardening throughout the year, learning about bear safety, and building a Quinzhee (snow igloo), learning how to pitch a tent, zip lining safely. We promote outdoor stewardship fun through our various outdoor zones and nature play, all while gaining valuable skills such as map-reading and map-making, how to build outdoor shelters, wild animal awareness and safety, and appropriate outdoor dress.
