Welcome to Twin.kle Little Star Bundang
Hi! I’m Miguel. After teaching at Twin.kle for over 10 years, I realized our youngest students needed something built just for them. That’s what inspired Twinkle Little Star. It’s the only Twinkle campus just for kindergartners—ages 6 to 7—giving them the tools they need to succeed in our elementary program. Most of our students go on to Twinkle Bundang, already confident and ready to soar.
Reading and writing form the backbone of our curriculum. Students develop a deep appreciation for literature and sharpen their thinking skills. With consistent writing practice and monthly speech presentations, they learn to communicate with clarity and purpose.
