        About Koko Haus

        You’re not choosing a building. You’re choosing people.

        Choosing an early learning service is one of the biggest decisions a family will make. You’re not simply choosing a building or an educational program. You’re choosing the people who will celebrate your child’s first achievements, comfort them when they need reassurance, encourage their curiosity and support them as they grow.

        At Koko Haus, we never take that responsibility for granted. As a family-owned early learning and kindergarten, we have created a place where children feel safe, respected, inspired and genuinely valued.

        • A place where families feel welcomed.
        • A place where childhood is protected.
        • A place where every little person belongs.

        Philosophy

        Philosophy

        At Koko Haus, we believe children are full of ideas, capable and curious and that meaningful learning happens when children are actively involved in experiences that matter to them.
        Through play, children have time to imagine, create, investigate, problem solve and build relationships. We follow children’s interest and provide thoughtful experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and a lifelong learning. We believe every child has a right to be heard and belong and have an agency to make choices, take the lead and influence their learning.
        Our educators learn alongside children, intentionally extending their thinking through thoughtful interactions and experiences, and have high expectations of each child. We value our connection to Country, culture, community and the natural world and are committed to creating a place where every child and family feels that they truly belong.

        Our Story

        Built on heart.
        Inspired by children.

        Koko Haus began with one simple idea: What if we created the kind of early learning place we would choose for our own children?

        • A place that feels like home.
        • A place where children are known, heard and valued.
        • A place where childhood is not rushed, and where little people have freedom to wonder, play, explore and grow in their own way.

        As a family-owned and operated service, we understand that choosing an early learning community for your child is a deeply personal decision. You are not simply choosing a place for your child to spend their day- you are choosing the people who will walk alongside your family during some of the most important years of their life.
