Early Years

Located in the peaceful surroundings of Ubud, The Spring School offers a nurturing early years program designed for children aged 3 to 6. The school combines a Montessori-inspired philosophy with a holistic, nature-based approach, creating a learning environment where young children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

A Montessori-Inspired Foundation

At The Spring School, early childhood education is guided by key Montessori principles—encouraging independence, curiosity, and self-directed learning. Children are supported to explore at their own pace through hands-on activities and meaningful experiences, helping them build confidence and a genuine love of learning from an early age.

The classrooms are thoughtfully prepared to allow children to make choices, engage deeply in their work, and develop concentration and responsibility—core elements of the Montessori approach.

Holistic and Child-Centered Learning

The school embraces a holistic philosophy, focusing on the development of the whole child. This includes not only cognitive growth, but also emotional wellbeing, social skills, creativity, and physical development. Daily activities are designed to support balanced growth, ensuring that each child feels seen, supported, and inspired.

Learning Through Nature and Play

Surrounded by Bali’s natural beauty, The Spring School integrates outdoor and nature-based learning into its curriculum. Play-based and project-based activities encourage exploration, imagination, and real-world connections, allowing children to learn through discovery and experience.

This connection with nature helps foster environmental awareness while also supporting physical health and a sense of wonder.

A Warm and Nurturing Environment

The Spring School prioritizes a calm, inclusive atmosphere where children feel safe and valued. Teachers act as gentle guides, building strong relationships with each child and encouraging respect, empathy, and collaboration within the classroom community.

Preparing for Lifelong Learning

By combining Montessori principles with a holistic, play-based approach, The Spring School lays a strong foundation for future education. Children develop essential skills such as independence, problem-solving, communication, and creativity—preparing them for a smooth transition into primary school and beyond.

At The Spring School, early years education is more than preparation for academics—it is about nurturing confident, curious, and compassionate individuals who are ready to engage with the world around them.
