Our Philosophy

We believe that each child is a unique individual with abilities, ambitions, thoughts and desires; and that the first few years are the most important years in his/her life. With teachers and families working  together as a team,  we will encourage and teach  each child to help him/her reach her/his potential by learning with leadership and humanity.
