Welcome to Kiddies Paradise
A happy place to be small — and a strong place to begin.
For more than forty years, families in Kirindiwela have brought their children to us for their very first school years. What began as a small Montessori house has grown into a warm, busy community of little learners — and the same simple belief still guides everything we do: children grow best when they are trusted, unhurried and genuinely loved.
Our AMI Montessori curriculum gives each child the freedom to choose meaningful work, to repeat it until it is mastered, and to take real pride in doing things for themselves. Alongside that independence, we make room for language, music, movement, celebration and friendship — in English and Sinhala.
- AMI Montessori curriculum, followed with care
- Elocution & spoken English built into the week
- Safe, secure and lovingly prepared classrooms
- Full-day daycare for working families

The Montessori way
An environment that belongs to the child.
In an AMI Montessori House of Children, the room is the teacher. Everything is child-sized, beautiful and deliberately placed — so that a three-year-old can carry, pour, sort, count and create without being rescued. Our role is to prepare that space, observe closely, and step in only when we are needed.
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”
Maria Montessori
Practical Life
Pouring, buttoning, sweeping, polishing — real work with real purpose, building independence and care for the environment.
Sensorial
Materials that refine the senses: size, shape, colour, sound, texture and weight, explored by hand before they are named.
Language
Spoken English and Sinhala, stories, sound games, sandpaper letters and elocution — a rich, daily language life.
Mathematics
Numbers you can hold. Concrete materials lead gently to abstract thinking, with understanding before memorising.
Culture & Nature
Geography, plants and animals, art, music and the festivals of our island — a child's first wide view of the world.

Our days, in pictures.
Theme days, sports meets, Avurudu mornings and the ordinary magic in between. Tap any photo to see it larger.
40 years of little milestones
Big days are part of the curriculum.
A school year at Kiddies Paradise is punctuated by the moments children remember for years: their first concert, their first race, their first Avurudu table. These are not extras — they are how confidence is built.
- Annual Sports Meet — every child takes part, every child is cheered.
- Annual Concert — music, movement and a stage all to themselves.
- Avurudu & festival days — sweetmeats, games and our island's traditions.
- Theme days — Blue Day, Yellow Day, Fruit Day and more, all year round.
