Gecko Garden School operates on two Phnom Penh campuses: a Preschool Campus with four mixed-age classes and a Kindergarten Campus with two mixed-age classes, both housed in adapted homes. The Preschool Campus features a garden and a playground designed to nurture the physical and sensory development of the young children. The Kindergarten Campus is located across the street from the preschool and continues the garden-based environment with outdoor play. A 2023 expansion created a new campus with three large and airy classrooms, a productive garden, and a custom-built playground. The school follows a Waldorf/Steiner education approach and maintains a home-like atmosphere with strong family involvement.
Outdoor play spaces include a garden and a playground at the Preschool Campus, with the playground designed to support physical development. The Kindergarten Campus provides additional garden-based outdoor play space. The new campus features a custom-built playground. Outdoor spaces and gardens are central to daily life and activities at Gecko Garden School.
The Preschool Campus is an adapted home housing four mixed-age classes. The Kindergarten Campus is located across the street from the preschool and hosts two mixed-age kindergarten classes. The language of instruction is English. Gecko Garden School is Waldorf/Steiner-inspired and emphasizes play-based learning within a home-like, family-involved environment. The school was established in 2001 and expanded with a new campus in 2023.
Twilight Garden is an extended-day program offered at the Preschool Campus from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, featuring nature-based projects, crafts, games, and free play. The Parent-Child Class provides a home-like Waldorf-inspired environment for caregivers and young children with outdoor play in the garden, held Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM. The Summer Program runs for four weeks with Preschool Camp for ages 18 months to 4 years and Kindergarten Camp for ages 4.5 to 6.5 years, offering half-day, full-day, and full-day plus twilight options (early arrival at 7:30 AM).
