Our Aim
Our Preschool 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.

The Preschool Competencies
   •Increases physical and motor
   development
   • Builds self-awareness

   • Maintains harmonious relationships with
   others
   • Communicates using oral and written
   language
   • Discovers the world around them
