We welcome the pre-schoolers with a bright smile and a friendly and nurturing classroom environment. Through interactions with teachers and peers, our children are engaged with different types learning opportunities throughout a day. Our teachers strive to help the children become independent individuals by providing and exposing them to activities that stimulate, guide, challenge and help develop their emotional, social, physical and cognitive skills. Also, routines and limits are practiced to help and guide children's self-regulation skills to be ready for kindergarten.
