Ayoma Fernando and Adhirupini Tyagarajah, former classmates at Ladies’ College, shared not only a friendship but also a deep passion for Montessori education. They founded ABC School of Early Learning on January 7, 1992 with just eight children. What began as a small initiative rooted in dedication and care has since grown into one of Colombo’s most respected and trusted preschool institutions.
Two years later, Surangi Munaweera joined the school as teacher, Principal and later a director, playing a vital role in shaping the growth and direction of the school.
Over the years, ABC flourished. The directors expanded their vision for early childhood education. They introduced theme-based learning through play. On September 5, 2006, ABC Preschool was launched with five children, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the school’s journey.
Today ABC celebrates another proud moment — both the Head Prefects of two of Sri Lanka’s most prestigious schools began their journey at ABC Preschool.
Kieran Lawrence, Head Prefect of St. Thomas’ College, Mount Lavinia and Sahan Agalawatta, Head Prefect of Royal College, Colombo once shared the same classrooms and learning environment during their early childhood years at ABC.
Kieran began his education at ABC Preschool just four months short of turning two. He was one of the triplets who joined the ABC Toddler Group alongside his brothers Aaron and Ethan who also became college prefects.
Kieran excelled in both academics and extracurricular activities, developing his talents in leadership as a Director of Model UN, his journey progressed steadily from Lower School Prefect, to College Prefect, and ultimately to Head Prefect, the highest student leadership position in the school.
Another outstanding example of this foundation is Sahan Agalawatta, whose talents were evident even during his early years at ABC. Sahan excelled in both sports and the arts, demonstrating exceptional versatility from a young age.
In recognition of his leadership and responsibility, he was also appointed Junior Prefect and now the Head Prefect of Royal College Colombo
Keiran is the son of Yohan and Leisha Lawrence, while Sahan is the son of the late Sampath Agalawatta, a former Royal Rugby Captain, and Dilhani Agalawatta
Kieran and Sahan’s achievements continue to inspire the ABC community and serve as a powerful reminder that great journeys often begin with the smallest steps.
