Philosophy
We offer a creative and positive environment where children can use their energy & talents in a fun, safe & healthy atmosphere. We seek to help children develop self-confidence and social skills in a caring, nurturing atmosphere through well-planned individual and group activities. Throughout the year we will explore different cultures through music, poetry, language, art and dance. We want our preschool students to understand, respect and appreciate social and cultural diversity.
