Our Aim
Our Preschool’s goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where
day-to-day experiences will promote the self-esteem, confidence and
abilities of each child to become life-long learners.

Our IB Primary Years Program focuses on the development of the whole
child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. It
encourages international-mindedness in students, thus making them global
citizens of the world.

Our Philosophy: Learning Through Play
It has long been acknowledged that there is a strong link between play and
learning for young children, especially in areas of problem-solving, literacy
and social skills. While playing with others and with class materials, the
children will learn about themselves, explore their world and learn concepts.
