It is our belief that all children are unique individuals with different learning styles and abilities. Our program nurtures the continuing growth of childrens knowledge and understanding of themselves and their world. We provide a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where learning flourishes.
We believe that children learn by doing and that every child is capable of learning. However, education at this age is not about memorizing facts and imposing strict schedules. It is about listening, guiding, and helping.
