Ikigai Preschool is built on the belief that every child learns best when they feel safe, loved and understood.
Our psychology-based approach ensures learning is joyful, emotions are respected and every child grows with confidence.
At Ikigai, learning is calm, playful and meaningful.
We focus on the whole child – mind, body and soul, creating a warm environment where children explore freely, express openly and absorb learning naturally.
To offer psychology-based learning that supports emotions, curiosity and confidence.
To create child-friendly spaces that feel safe, warm and joyful.
To nurture early years with mindful teaching, respect and understanding.
The early years shape a child’s entire life.
At Ikigai, we make these years meaningful through emotional security, hands-on experiences and a joyful pace of learning that supports natural growth.
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that represents “one’s reason for being” — the inner joy and purpose that comes from doing what you truly love. As the founder, this philosophy deeply resonated with me. I envisioned a preschool where every child is encouraged to explore freely, follow their curiosity, and grow at their own natural pace.
I chose the name Ikigai because I believe early childhood is the foundation upon which a lifetime of learning, confidence, and individuality is built. When children begin their journey in an environment that celebrates passion, happiness, and self-discovery, they carry that strength with them forever.
At Ikigai Preschool, our goal is to help each child uncover their own sense of purpose — joyfully, confidently, and authentically.
