Kids Soho, a one-stop education centre focused on play and peer interactions, facilitating opportunities for positive early learning experiences, opened its doors to the public in Sanur, Bali recently.Through strategic partnerships with child development experts, Kids Soho Sanur will provide a safe, nurturing and enriching environment for children to socialise through play and mixed-age peer interaction, encouraging fun-filled exploration, learning and growth.
Kids Soho is home to several world-class experts in child development and quality educational experiences including the First Bridge Montessori Preschool, Rivas-JH Kim Taekwondo School, Ballet Royal School Bali, Koding Akademi (Coding & Roboting Class), and Sasya
One of the highlights of Kids Soho that children will love is the huge 339-square-metre innovative playground. Underpinned by Montessori principles using mixed-age interaction, children will be able to learn from their peers whilst exploring and discovering what the Kids Soho play space has to offer. The vivid pastel-coloured space features fixed equipment such as playhouses (police station, hospital, shop and kitchen), a balancing beam, a climbing wall, a trampoline, a spiral slide and a zigzag bridge, a ball pool filled with 25,000 colourful balls and Bali’s first kid’s doughnut slide. Children will have hours of fun whilst building their gross motoric skills and agility whilst socialising with kids of all ages.
All the toys and play gear at Kids Soho are provided by Happy Play Indonesia, a trusted and professional company specialising in kids’ playgrounds that have supplied many well-known playgrounds in the urban centres of Indonesia.
There is also a free play area filled with racks of soft toys and puzzles with two extra-long tables for children to gather around and play on. These activities nurture fine motoric skills, imagination and cognition. Every element and fixture of the play centre was created to inspire and enhance children’s enjoyment, curiosity, and imagination whilst strengthening their developing minds, social skills and bodies.
“Our vision is to become Bali’s leading learning destination for children and families, servicing the local and growing expat community. Kids Soho aims to deliver unique social house facilities that have never been seen before in Bali,” said Prami Pratiwi, one of Kids Soho’s founders.
