    Daycare Program

    Our Infant Care Program provides a nurturing space for infants, focusing on bonding, sensory exploration, and foundational development. Our development is not only tagged to eating and resting well. We are nurturing all aspects of development: physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and language, while providing a safe and stimulating environment. All this is done through play based learning.

    Kindergarten Prep Program

    Our Kindergarten Prep program prepares children for the transition to school with a focus on literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills through play. From gradually adopting to the school schedule to engaging in carefully selected activities that not only encourage a love for school but also learning. Play-based learning encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in a context that is natural and enjoyable for us.
