Discover Our Ikigai
More than a daycare, we are a place to grow, discover, and find joy in learning.
About Us
At Ikigai, we see childhood as a journey of joyful discovery. Our approach is inspired by the Japanese concept of Ikigai (生き甲斐)—a reason for being. We believe every child holds a unique spark, and our purpose is to nurture it.
By blending play-based learning with emotional intelligence, we create a safe, inclusive, and wondrous space where little minds find what they love, discover what they're good at, and begin a lifelong adventure filled with purpose.
Born from Passion
Ikigai Day Care & Preschool, founded in February 2024, was born out of a passion to create a joyful, nurturing, and developmentally rich environment for children.
Guided by the principles of purpose-driven learning, we combine international best practices with local values to prepare children not just for school—but for life.
