Our Story & Our Mission
Our Story
Founded in Bangrak, Koh Samui, Nova Kindergarten & Bilingual Pre-School was created to provide a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment for children aged 2 to 6. Our vision is to offer a balanced education combining creativity, cultural awareness, and early learning skills.
At Nova, we believe that every child deserves the chance to explore, play, and learn at their own pace, guided by caring educators who respect each child’s individuality and curiosity.
From the very beginning, our goal has been simple — to nurture independent thinkers, compassionate individuals, and confident learners prepared for their future educational journey.
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster confident, independent, and curious learners through a bilingual and Montessori-inspired approach. We aim to:
- Encourage creativity and problem-solving
- Promote respect for cultural diversity, especially Thai traditions
- Build a strong foundation in early learning skills
- Create a joyful, safe, and inclusive environment for all children
Our Values
Here are the core values that guide everything we do at Nova Kindergarten
Creativity
We encourage children to explore their imagination through arts, crafts, cooking, and hands-on activities, helping them develop confidence and innovation.
Curiosity
Learning is discovery. We foster a love for exploration, whether it’s through science, nature, Thai culture, or new experiences every day.
Respect
We teach children to respect themselves, others, and the world around them, including cultural traditions, the environment, and diverse perspectives
Joyful Learning
We believe education should be fun. Every activity is designed to be engaging, playful, and meaningful, so that children develop a lifelong love of learning.
Our Teaching Team
Our teachers are the heart of Nova Kindergarten.
Each member of our team is carefully selected for their qualifications, experience and genuine passion for working with young children.
We believe that strong relationships between teachers and children create the foundation for meaningful learning.
