School Notes

Creative Play Center intends to promote the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of each child.
While striving to attain maximum development in these areas, our overlying concern is with the child's self-esteem.
The preschool offers a significant opportunity for the child to discover themselves in relation to the outside world.
We set the scene to which the child reacts, placing minimum restrictions on their spontaneous feelings and behavior.
Only when a child knows about themselves can they extend themselves to others.
