Our Philosophy
Our programs are based on explorative, dramatic and creative play in order to develop and stimulate the children’s abilities as they grow socially, physically, spiritually and intellectually. It is a positive environment based on trust and respect where the child develops a sense of self, belonging and self-worth in a culturally sensitive setting.
Children will see themselves and their interests reflected as they are invited to investigate, explore and play in a flexible environment.
We foster independence and decision making skills as the children are viewed as competent and capable members of society.
