| The Garden Bali | Parklife Bali | |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Purpose-built preschool classrooms with an attached garden and playground, run from a Canggu campus plus a second campus in Sanur. | A single Canggu site built around an indoor and outdoor playground, with a garden area and a mock beach corner, plus a cafe and coworking space. |
| Program style | A nature and inquiry based curriculum, with weekly music, art, drama, Indonesian language, PE, and gardening built into the school day. | A play first setup where the preschool classes share the same building and playground as the general kids club. |
| Age range and schedule | Parent and baby classes from 6 months, drop-in toddler sessions, and a structured kindergarten program up to age 7, running year round including school holidays. | Baby and toddler play classes for children under 3, plus weekday morning preschool classes for 3 to 4, 4 to 5, and 5 to 6 year olds, each capped at around 15 children. |
| Community and daily rhythm | A quieter, classroom based routine focused on a consistent early education day. | A busier, hub-like atmosphere, since school families share the space with siblings, drop-in visitors, and parents working or having coffee on site. |
| Extra activities | Specialist classes are folded into the regular week rather than offered separately. | Birthday parties, weekend family events, and free playground access for siblings outside class hours. |
| Cost level | Moderate and fairly predictable, since the preschool program itself is the main charge. | Can run higher overall, since casual kids club hours on top of class fees add up for families who use the space daily. |
