Our Belief
The Kintsugi Philosophy
Kintsugi is the Japanese Art of repairing broken pottery by filling the cracks with lacquer mixed with powdered gold.
Kintsugi philosophy teaches us much about living. The act of patience and acceptance of imperfections creates relationships that are safer, deeper, richer and more resilient.
The Identity
At Kintsugi Village, we celebrate every child’s unique journey with programs designed to foster growth, resilience, and transformation in a nurturing environment. Our approach blends the wisdom of Kintsugi with modern educational practices to provide a holistic experience. The Kintsugi Village logo embodies this philosophy, symbolizing the harmonious balance between child and mentor through intertwined fingerprints. The golden Kintsugi lining bridges the connection, growth, and transformation, reflecting the nurturing and guiding relationship at the heart of our philosophy.
Our Theory Of Change
Our offerings are based on the four pillars of education stated by UNESCO:
Learning To Know, Learning To Do, Learning To Live Together, Learning To Be
Our democratic learning environment will nurture a feeling of community, thereby fulfilling every child’s fundamental need to belong and be significant. Our children will thus aim to become socially well adjusted, happy and healthy life long learners.
Our Values
Celebrating
Imperfections
We celebrate the unique strengths and weakness in every child and recognize that these unique traits make them special. By embracing these differences, we create a safe space where children feel valued and accepted.
Building

Resilience is a core value at Kintsugi Village. We believe in teaching children to face challenges with courage and grace, transforming obstacles into opportunities for growth.
Honoring
Transformation
Change is a natural part of life, and we honor the journey of transformation. We support children and parents in evolving together, embracing new possibilities and nurturing the bonds that hold us together.
