About Us
An early learning centre built on respect for the child
Kidzville Learning Center welcomes families across Surrey into a calm, prepared environment where children are trusted to explore, practise and grow at their own pace.
Our Story
Kidzville Learning Center began with a simple belief: that young children deserve an environment prepared as carefully as any classroom for older students. What started as a small early learning community has grown into a centre trusted by families across Surrey for infant care, preschool and junior kindergarten.
Over the years our classrooms have evolved, but the foundation has not — natural materials, unhurried days, and educators who take the time to observe each child before they intervene.
Our Approach
We combine Montessori methods with the open-ended, project-based spirit of Reggio Emilia. Children choose meaningful work, repeat it until they master it, and collaborate on investigations that follow their own questions.
The environment is treated as a teacher in its own right: uncluttered shelves, real tools, living plants and space for children to move with purpose.
Our Mission
We partner with families to create nurturing, loving, and safe environments where every child feels secure, supported, and empowered to grow. Through meaningful, hands-on experiences, we nurture each child’s social, physical, intellectual, cultural, and emotional development, helping them build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Our Vision
Provide high-quality education in safe, respectful, and inclusive environments where children feel seen, valued, and supported. We aim to build lifelong learners who carry curiosity, confidence, and compassion into the world.
Our Philosophy
We support the whole child — social, physical, intellectual, cultural and emotional development — following each child’s pace and interests.
Meet the Head of School
Samiha Rehmtulla
Head of School · Early Childhood Educator and Montessori Directress
Samiha Rehmtulla is an Early Childhood Educator and Montessori Directress with 19 years of experience in the field. After graduating, she worked in various childcare centres, where she developed a deep love for her work and recognized opportunities to create a learning environment that offered children something more.
Her love for children and passion for teaching inspired her to establish Panorama Ridge Montessori in September 2007, while she was expecting her third child. She began the school with just eight children, including two of her own.
Samiha’s teaching approach combines Montessori methods with open-ended activities inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. She believes children learn best when their natural curiosity is encouraged. Rather than simply being taught information, children are given opportunities to explore, discover and learn through meaningful experiences. Educators act as guides who observe, document and thoughtfully prepare environments that support each child’s natural desire to learn.
As a busy mother of four, Samiha continued to pursue her passion for early childhood education. Encouragement and inspiration from the community led her to establish Kidzville Learning Centre, embracing the same values and approaches to teaching and learning. Kidzville programs began in September 2013 and expanded to include Infant-Toddler, Junior Kindergarten and Preschool programs.
In March 2020, Kidzville expanded to South Surrey, offering Infant-Toddler and Junior Kindergarten programs in bright, welcoming classrooms filled with natural light and thoughtfully designed learning environments.
A significant milestone came in January 2026, when Kidzville’s Newton location moved into a newly built, purposefully designed facility of more than 10,000 square feet. The new centre expanded from 45 childcare spaces to 118 spaces and was created from the ground up with young children and their development in mind. The facility features a large indoor playground, a commercial kitchen, four spacious outdoor play areas, and uniquely designed classrooms that encourage independence, exploration and meaningful learning. Every aspect of the environment was thoughtfully planned to support the way children move, discover, interact and learn.
At Kidzville, Samiha believes children should be treated with respect and kindness and given the freedom and opportunity to explore while they learn. The learning environments are intentionally designed to be beautiful, engaging and purposeful, with materials and experiences that capture children’s interests while helping them build confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning.
Samiha remains deeply passionate about the programs she has created and continues to work alongside the Kidzville team to provide children with meaningful early learning experiences. Her hope is that Kidzville not only makes a positive difference in each child’s development, but also becomes a place where children and families create memories they will cherish for years to come.
