Our philosophy in Early Childhood Education is guided by the basic understanding that each child is a unique individual with differing needs.
The growth an development of a child requires creative interaction with teachers and peers in a positive learning environment.
The whole child is nurtured in a gentle, constructive, caring atmosphere, where emotional, physical and intellectual growth is encouraged.
Our school strives to create just such a climate, where children can develop confidence, sensitivity and healthy self-esteem.
