We promote creativity and critical thinking. Children are encouraged to explore and discover. Our space is designed for children to play freely. All our toys are carefully selected for children to develop their fine and gross motor skills as well as ignite the curiosity in them to create and learn. We instill emotional intelligence and self-confidence. We have created a family like environment, encouraging a healthy social life for children. We use an inclusive curriculum and celebrate diversity. We believe that every child is unique and will grow at his or her own pace. Our teachers spend time nurturing children’s strengths and encouraging them to reach new heights. We offer an age-appropriate curriculum that focuses on the individual strengths of each child. We offer an enriched environment, where children learn about themselves and the world around them, through the development of a positive self-concept, interaction and cooperation with others, and hands-on learning experiences.
