KiddieCove Academy: Two sisters, one vision, transforming early childhood education

KiddieCove Preschool and Daycare is rapidly establishing itself as a leading provider of early childhood education across Sri Lanka, with flourishing branches in Thalawathugoda, Malabe, and Mount Lavinia.

Founded by sisters Naduni and Esha Samarakoon, KiddieCove offers a safe, nurturing, and innovative learning environment where children embark on their educational journey through exploration and creativity.

Born into a family with a rich educational heritage, the Samarakoon sisters drew inspiration from multiple generations of educators. Naduni’s international experience with children and Esha’s 19 years in corporate leadership have combined to create a unique preschool concept that
emphasizes hands-on, activity-based learning.

Approximately 75% of the curriculum focuses on experiential activities designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and confidence, alongside essential
values such as respect and cultural acceptance.

KiddieCove’s approach transcends traditional academics, nurturing the whole child in a supportive family-like environment. As the school expands, the founders continue to delight in seeing their ‘Covians’ thrive in a place where childhood joy and discovery are paramount.
