While I have been reaching out to our people, there is something remarkably similar about
everyone’s reaction: PURE NOSTALGIA. And one would think it is with the ‘children’ alone, but
with our parents, it is on a completely different level. That, is Kampala Kindergarten in a
nutshell—a place you will live to remember, a place you will want to be, again and again.
One would ask, “WHY?”
To create an ecosystem; a layer of support beyond what already exists. KKA gave us
wings—each very strong and differently colored. Layering our wings over the place where we
are rooted creates a beautiful umbrella whose coverage and warmth we all can benefit from.
This includes not just the children who are currently where we once were, but everyone
connected to this ecosystem. The more the wings, the more the color, the larger the coverage,
and the warmer it gets within.
It is not uncommon that some are more privileged than others, even within the same home.
Holding hands together uplifts our house at large, leaving no one behind. Let us gather back
home, to our root nurturer, before we were shared with the world. Let us unite to uphold one
another..

Cardiovascular surgery Fellow – Uganda Heart Institute

“In the early 1990s any affluent parent would have their child study from a pre primary school that had a back ground to training children of the expatriates. In the 1980s the whites teachers steered the wheel not every parent could afford the privilege of training their children in such a great school.Their came middle class earners, my parents who pushed against all limits to have their children go to the best pre primary school in kampala and the country at the time. They chose at all cost even if it meant to put on one trouser and shirt but have the children go to the best school. For some it was the ability to express oneself in English language and for others the confidence the children had and for me the uniform and the name scored it all for me.
When I look at my class pictures I am moved by the privilege I had to go through such a great school which gave me fundamentally what made me who I am today. I always knew that if I ever had children,it was a no brainer they had to share such a great foundation. It’s such an honor to have my daughter and son share this foundation. I have hope and pray the school can complete the primary school level classes so that we have wholistic of pupils through to secondary schools”

“The Foundation That Lasts Forever
When I close my eyes and think back to the Kampala Kindergarten of 1995, I remember the walks from the All-Saints Church, Nakasero with my mother, sometimes my father. It was a clear stretch that I could see the school while we walked there. The memories come rushing back in a symphony of sound, the collective roar of laughter echoing from the playground, and the reassuring voices of teachers who didn’t just teach us how to read, they taught us how to stand tall.

My journey at Kampala Kindergarten spanned just two short years, from 1995 to 1996. Yet, anyone who walked through those gates at Plot 12 Kyaggwe Road knows that time is measured differently there. A single childhood moment at the school had enough weight to shape the rest of our lives. We arrived as timid toddlers, clinging tightly to our parents’ hands. But we left speaking with a distinct confidence that turned heads, completely ready to take on primary school and the world beyond.

Those mid-90s terms were magic. The values instilled in us during those formative years became our lifelong anchor. Today, as a proud member of the Alumni Association, I look at the professionals, leaders, innovators, and parents my peers have become, and I see the indelible mark of our shared foundation everywhere.
For three-quarters of a century, Kampala Kindergarten has stood as a beacon of academic and co-curricular excellence.
To all my fellow alumni, Happy Platinum Jubilee, Kampala Kindergarten Association. Truly, the best school in the world.”
