We understand that choosing the right school for your child is an important decision, maybe one of the most important that you have made up until this point in their life. Our own children attend the school and we ensure that they get the very best, from teachers, to meals, to facilities and opportunities. We treat each child like we would treat our own. We desire to build in them a growth mindset, helping them to continue their love of learning which children are naturally born.

The environment encourages the child to engage in exploration, questioning, discovery, creativity and problem solving in a cooperative and collaborative manner. Our physical setting and the learning environment at the kindergarten are secure and stable, yet flexible enough to ensure that each child is able to build on the strengths, interests, and abilities that will enable them to achieve their full potential. The children’s learning is scaffolded by their interactions with both the physical and social environments. Reflective language and thinking is used in these interactions, extending children’s language and higher order thinking. Learning becomes almost like a chain reaction, where one part of learning becomes a path to further learning and so on.

Conveniently located in our brand new school campus, just 300 metres south from Tesco Lotus Chalong in the South of Phuket, lies Lighthouse Chalong International Kindergarten & Early Years.

We value and respect staff individuality, knowledge, qualifications and experience and encourage growth and positive team co-operation. Our educators are positive role models, guiding behaviour by example, and interacting with children in a way that encourages learning as a pleasant and enjoyable experience. By using reflective practices and continually developing our professional knowledge and skills, our educators are able to provide the best possible learning and developmental opportunities for all children.

We are a premier international childcare facility and fully licensed international school. Canadian owned and managed, catering to children from the age of 1 year and up. We are a family run business and believe in maintaining a safe family environment conducive to the special care of each individual child. Our facility covers over 3,000 square meters of land, over 2 rai and is situated away from busy roads and traffic allowing safe and easy access to our school. We are open Monday through Friday, 8:00am until 3:30pm, with after-school care available upon request.

4worldlovers: ABC International Nursery Phuket was founded in 2007 with the intention of providing an International standard pre-school experience in the Rawai, Nai Harn and Chalong area.

British owned and managed our objectives have been quite simple: to ensure your child achieves key learning objectives through an array of academic, social and sensory activities. This is achieved by combining our academic syllabus with a strong emphasis on creativity and experiential learning in classes such as: yoga, dance, art, meditation, music, gardening and sports.

Academic development is in accordance with the International Primary Curriculum Early Years Program, a British based curriculum that is both modular and progressive in it’s content.

Being an “International” Nursery we have had the privilege of welcoming young learners from all over the world and have learnt that irrespective of nationality, culture or age meaningful learning occurs when a child is happy, secure, ready, engaged and challenged.

Located in the South of Phuket ABC International Nursery is housed in a beautiful white villa with large gardens surrounding it. It is a bright, airy, colourful and a happy environment that offers its children a creative and safe place to learn. There are maximum 12 students in a class where emphasis is put on mindfulness and consideration as much as academic learning. Our school community is made up of an array of nationalities; however, all teaching is done in English apart from the scheduled Thai lessons.

4worldlovers: Montessori Education has been ahead of its time since it was developed in 1907, even as it continues to compete with a struggling traditional school model. The philosophy was developed as a result of decades of studying human development and cognition, and it proves to be more valuable than ever in our fast-paced modern world.

As much as we all like our gadgets, it remains true that children learn best through active physical play and active involvement in the learning process. In Montessori, we promote freedom within limits; and teachers guide children toward exploring their natural curiosity to discover and learn more about the world.

Progressive preschool and kindergarten curriculum taught by native English speakers, to enable young domestic and international learners to grow using their individual learning style and natural gifts.


Shining Stars Kamala is a small progressive preschool and kindergarten located in Phuket, Thailand. We offer an English-intensive curriculum for local and international students in an intimate and fun environment.


Opening in 2008, Shining Stars responded to a need in Kamala for a fun, safe and creative space for children to learn and grow. Students began to arrive from all over the island and beyond who had heard about Shining Stars’ reputation as a progressive alternative for early years education.


Families have long been attracted to Shining Stars for providing a space for children to sing, dance, role-play, learn foundational letters and math, eat healthy and delicious home-cooked meals, and explore their creativity. The other large part of why families are attracted to Shining Stars is its small class sizes which focus on intimate learning experiences and giving individualized focus on students’ needs.

The foundation for our learning philosophy is based on the “Me” to “We” concept. This dynamic curriculum starts pre-school children on an educational journey starting from the center of their universe (their ‘Me’) by learning about their own bodies – their physical abilities, the 5 senses, self-care, personal likes/dislikes and importance of healthy food. A special Yoga-For-Kids program has been implemented at Shining Stars to help foster body awareness, balance, and to build strength. Children also grow their meditation practice as a way to learn inner stillness, focus and as a tool to help calm emotions and connect with their inner world.

The children next learn how to engage with classmates, family members and friends which is the next step outwards in their world. This is the natural expansion from the ‘Me’ to the ‘We’.

Early on, children explore their emotional world and learn skills to articulate their needs as well as learning to respond appropriately to others around them. At Shining Stars children are strongly encouraged to recognize this bond between themselves and others through the simple act of listening and responding appropriately. This is done through sharing and engaging with students and teachers in a variety of activities. Students are encouraged to find resolution to conflict by understanding other perspectives while effectively communicating their own feelings and needs. This social-emotional aspect of learning is vital to a child’s development as they become more aware of the larger world around them.

Once students gain a better sense of their nearby surroundings, they begin to look at their neighbors and local community. Importance is placed on the natural world as children learn to take care of animal friends, local vegetation and the natural landscape that surrounds them. Food is very important at Shining Stars and we emphasize this by having children explore nutrition, making and sharing a variety of international and Thai food dishes, bread baking and more.

After the students at Shining Stars have considered the local community of Phuket, they can begin to understand the places beyond their daily experiences. They learn about Phuket within a larger country of Thailand and then the world. With many Shining Stars families coming from such vast array of international locations and cultures, students have the opportunity to learn about other countries. They explore languages, customs and experiences from places they have never personally visited but are encouraged to explore and grow a healthy curiosity about.

As children are exposed to different geographic locations from all over the world, they start to become aware of the variety of different habitats that each of these countries provide. They learn about mountains, deserts, plains, and forest and learn how they are similar and also different from the ocean and jungle habitat they experience living in Phuket. Children love to hear stories about these amazing habitats and are fascinated by the diversity and expanse of animals that inhabit these spaces. We also take the opportunity to highlight the importance of conserving and protecting these habitats. The natural world, just as they learn that their bodies, their friends and family, their neighborhood and community also needs to be respected.

Teaching children their place in the world starts with nurturing the self, the ‘Me’, expanding outward to the ‘We’ and then the last brave step of the journey outward into the ‘Us’. The ‘Us’ takes them outwards into the universe as they are introduced to planets in our solar system and well as learning about moons, stars, and the expansiveness of the galaxy.
