About the School
- Children's Garden is educating children since 1980.
- We pride ourselves in being an early childhood center that uses an eclectic pedagogical approach.
- At Children's Garden we believe very strongly that the young child learns through talking and playing with his/her peers in an environment that supports his/her efforts at socialization.
- We therefore consider that all of the child's time with us is a valuable learning experience and we structure our activities to be centered on the child's needs.
- Ours is a loving and educational environment that should feel like a second home to your child, and our staff and students a "second family." We strive to nurture and teach your child in a comfortable and fun place that allows him/her to reach their fullest potential.
