About Umalas Kids Club – A Trusted Preschool in Bali for Ages 6 Months to 6 Years

A Message from Our Director – About Umalas Kids Club

Dear Families,

A warm welcome to Umalas Kids Club — a place where early childhood is honoured, curiosity is celebrated, and learning begins with joy.

At UKC, we believe that the early years are not only the foundation of a child’s education — they are the foundation of the adult they will become. These first years are a time of wonder, exploration, and exponential growth. It is during this period that we plant the seeds of confidence, empathy, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.

As the Director of Umalas Kids Club, I am proud to lead a dedicated team of educators who understand the profound responsibility of guiding your child’s earliest experiences. Grounded in the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, our play-based approach ensures that learning is always meaningful, active, and developmentally appropriate.

Every child who walks through our gates is met with warmth, respect, and the assurance that they will be seen, heard, and valued. Whether they are painting, problem-solving, asking questions, climbing, or quietly observing, each moment at UKC is purposefully designed to nurture both mind and heart.

We are more than a preschool. We are a vibrant, diverse, and trusted community that embraces children from all cultures and backgrounds — a place where families connect, where children feel safe to express themselves, and where education begins with relationships built on trust and care.

Mrs Kathia – Director of the Umalas Kids Club

I am particularly proud of our commitment to safety, excellence, inclusivity and hygiene. As a fully licensed and accredited preschool, parents can be assured that their child is in a secure and professionally governed environment, supported by passionate, qualified educators who care deeply about each child’s well-being and development.

Whether you are based here in beautiful Bali or visiting for a season, I invite you to discover the joy and intentionality that defines Umalas Kids Club. Come visit us, explore our facilities, meet our team, and experience firsthand the magic of early years learning done right.

Thank you for considering UKC to be part of your child’s journey. We look forward to walking alongside your family, helping your little one grow into a confident, kind, and curious citizen of tomorrow.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Kathia
Director of the Umalas Kids Club

British Curriculum (EYFS) – Play-Based Learning Environment for Every Child

At Umalas Kids Club, our curriculum is built on the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), part of the British curriculum, which nurtures the whole child through a balanced, play-based approach.

We focus on seven key areas of learning, divided into three prime and four specific areas — each supporting your child’s growth and readiness for the next stage of their learning journey.

Prime Areas (Core Foundations):

These are the building blocks of all future learning.

✅ Communication & Language – developing speaking, listening, and understanding

✅ Personal, Social & Emotional Development – fostering confidence, relationships, and emotional well-being

✅ Physical Development – supporting gross and fine motor skills, coordination, and health

These areas are at the heart of our daily activities and are essential for igniting curiosity, building social skills, and cultivating a love for learning.

Specific Areas (Extending Learning):

As children grow, they are introduced to four additional areas that strengthen cognitive and creative development:

✅ Literacy – exploring stories, phonics, early reading, and writing

✅ Mathematics – understanding numbers, patterns, shapes, and measurements

✅ Understanding the World – learning about communities, nature, culture, and technology

✅ Expressive Arts & Design – encouraging creativity through music, art, movement, and role-play

Together, these seven areas ensure a holistic and well-rounded learning experience, allowing children to develop not just academic skills but also creativity, empathy, critical thinking, and resilience.

By weaving these domains into our play-based activities, we create meaningful learning experiences that nurture every aspect of your child’s development — intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.

Early Childhood Education

Our Vision: Play-Based Learning With Purpose

At Umalas Kids Club, true to the British system, we believe that play is the foundation of learning. It’s through meaningful, guided play that children explore their world, make discoveries, and begin to understand themselves and others.

The early years — especially in a preschool setting where children interact closely with their peers — are a transformative time. Each moment of play is a moment of growth, shaping who they are and who they will become.

Through our play-based learning philosophy, children are empowered to:

✅ Solve problems and understand cause and effect

✅ Play with others through sharing, cooperation, and conflict resolution

✅ Build language skills and express ideas confidently

✅ Nurture creativity and imagination in open-ended play

✅ Explore concepts and develop skills across all areas of learning

✅ Strengthen fine and gross motor skills through active movement

✅ Discover independence and healthy self-esteem

✅ Develop pre-literacy and early math skills

✅ Make sense of the world through exploration and observation

✅ Learn rules, take risks, and grow through trial and error

✅ Communicate effectively with peers and educators

This approach isn’t just about fun — it’s about intentional learning. Our educators create rich, responsive environments where play is both spontaneous and thoughtfully supported. By doing so, we help children become confident, curious, and capable learners, ready to thrive not only in school but in life.

Preschool Learning Environment

Our Core Values

Our Key Goals – Supporting Early Childhood Education in Bali

✅ A Unique Child – Every child is a competent learner from birth and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

✅ Positive Relationships – Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and carers.

✅ An enabling environment – The environment plays a crucial role in supporting and extending a child’s development and learning.

✅ Learning and Developing – Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates, and all areas of learning and development are equally important.

Our Governance: A Non-Profit Association

The Yayasan Anak Seribu Bangsa (YASB)

 

Umalas Kids Club is proudly governed by Yayasan Anak Seribu Bangsa (YASB) — a registered, non-profit foundation committed to delivering high-quality, internationally minded education in Indonesia. Established in 2014, YASB ensures that UKC operates with full transparency, integrity, and alignment with both national educational regulations and international best practices in early childhood learning.
