School Notes
- Our students have the freedom to progress at their own pace, explore their world with self-led activities, and draw their own conclusions. They gain knowledge, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love for learning.
- We understand that each preschooler is unique and at different stages of development, so we don`t compare abilities or encourage competition. Rather, we observe each child`s interests and build individualize lessons around them. When they graduate, they will be confident in taking the next steps of their educational journey.
