Kinderfield Preschool is the early years stage of the Kinderfield Highfield group, an established Indonesian education network with campuses across Jakarta and beyond. It is where the youngest children, from toddlers into kindergarten, begin in an English enriched, play based environment before moving into the group's primary school. It is a local preschool with an international flavour rather than a full international school, and that framing matters when you compare it with the city's premium options.

Curriculum and academics
The Kinderfield early years programme is built around the way young children actually learn, through play, exploration and themes pitched at their age. Literacy is introduced with multisensory phonics to build reading readiness, alongside early mathematics, art, physical activity and character building, with English used throughout to give children an early footing in the language.
The approach is described as inquiry based and student centred, encouraging children to stay curious and ask questions from the start. This is a national plus preschool, designed to prepare children for the group's own primary school and for Indonesian schooling more broadly, rather than an IB or Cambridge international route. Families who want a full English medium international pathway will find a useful contrast in the wider market mapped on the Jakarta city hub.

Kinderfield Preschool fees
Kinderfield sits in the more affordable part of the Jakarta market, well below the premium international schools. Our Jakarta international school fees guide maps the city's bands, from the premium internationals down to the bilingual and national tier, and a Kinderfield early years place falls toward that lower, more accessible end.
Fees vary by campus and by the programme and hours you choose, and they are not published as a single figure across the group, so confirm the current schedule, any registration or activity charges and the daily hours with the specific campus you are considering. The fees guide will help you see how that compares with the rest of the city.
Admissions
Kinderfield takes children from the toddler years into kindergarten and admits across the year where places exist, with each campus handling its own enrolment. The process for the youngest children is settling in rather than formal assessment, focused on readiness and fit.
Families should contact their preferred campus directly to confirm the ages it takes, the current intake, the hours and the fee schedule. Visiting the campus is the clearest way to see the environment and judge whether the play based approach suits your child.
Location and who goes there
The Kinderfield Highfield group is headquartered in South Jakarta and runs several campuses in and around the city, including Tebet, Cinere and Duren Sawit, with provision reaching into Greater Jakarta. That spread means families can often find a campus close to home, which matters a great deal for the preschool years and the daily run.
The community is largely Indonesian, with families choosing Kinderfield for an English enriched start that is more affordable than the international schools. To see where it sits among the city's options, including the full range of nurseries and preschools, start with the Jakarta city hub.
