About Us
Childhood built on nature
Our Story & Difference
Established in 2020 as Kuala Lumpur’s pioneering urban forest preschool, we began with a simple intention: to seamlessly incorporate outdoor learning into children's everyday lives. Thanks to the wonderful response from our community, we expanded in 2025 to launch Little Urban Forest Adventure (LUFA) to further support our growing children. Here, we do not just offer outdoor playtime. We deliberately design our curriculum around the proven science of nature-based learning, as it directly enhances your child's overall wellbeing, developmental competence, and school readiness.
Our Guiding Values
🌱 Nature as Teacher: The outdoor is a core part of every child's learning day, not an after thought.
🌳 Blended Learning: We connect indoor and outdoor experiences into one living curriculum.
🧗♀️ Child Autonomy: We respect each child as tiny human with real agency, feelings, and perspective.
🌟 Joyful Discovery: Learning isn't a rigid curriculum; it is the organic, spirited and hands-on process of a child decoding their world.
Learning should feel alive. messy, playful, and full of genuine delight.
The joy a child finds in a mud puddle or a fallen leaf today is the same spirit that will drive them to ask bold questions, try new things, and find wonder in the world for years to come.
Our Vision & Mission
Vision
A world where every child grows up rooted — in nature, in curiosity, and in themselves.
Mission
We are more than a playschool. We believe the outdoors is not a break from learning — it is learning. We weave indoor and outdoor experiences together so that discovery feels lively, real, and genuinely fun. And we take children seriously: honoring their voices, their choices, and their own way of seeing the world.
