We believe every child is unique in terms of life experience developmental readiness and cultural heritage. Partnership between family and school is therefore essential to the optimal growth and development of young children.
Our aim is to provide a safe nurturing stimulating environment that accommodates and embraces differences. Our goal is to promote the physical social emotional and cognitive development of each child.
We believe in the integration of learning and play as children learn best by doing. We strive for the balance between teacher-directed and child-initiated activities providing the foundation of a developmentally appropriate Early Childhood Program. Given opportunities to explore the world around them young children become active involved learners. School becomes a place where they can be successful and children discover that learning is fun.
We believe with this foundation children become curious well-rounded learners able to make independent choices and act responsibly.
