Kinderland International Education (KIE) is bringing its renowned Kinderland preschool experience to the Philippines. The expansion adds to its growing network of more than 130 centres across Asia-Pacific. Kinderland is one of the region’s leading early childhood education providers.
Kinderland Preschool in Philippines opens its doors on 30 May 2026, introducing its renowned music-infused curriculum to the community in San Juan.
Through a strategic partnership, the established Gingerbread House of Learning in San Juan. Metro Manilla, has been rebranded. It will now operate as Kinderland Preschool, bringing the Kinderland’s globally recognised curriculum to families in the Philippines. This marks an exciting new chapter for early childhood education in the country.
Kinderland’s signature Children’s Music Programme will be offered to all enrolled preschoolers.
At the heart of this expansion is Kinderland’s signature music-infused, holistic and trilingual curriculum. Founded in Singapore in 1978, it integrates music purposefully into daily learning. This supports language development, cognitive growth, emotional expression, and social skills. Children enjoy experiences spanning storytelling, coding, and inquiry-based Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). creative arts, phonics and trilingual exposure in English, Mandarin, and Filipino are also offered.
