We love seeing our children shine in everything they do!
That is why we pride ourselves in giving our little learners a great environment in which they can learn, play, make friends and grow to be future leaders. With class names like "Tigers", "Cheetahs" and "Dolphins" – to name a few, we give children a sense of belonging and a place where they can immediately feel at ease by surrounding themselves with things they know.
The classes are spacious and give the children room to get drawing, playing as well as eating their lunches. Nap time is also included in the day's activities.
Our goal is to provide a warm, loving, secure and developmentally friendly environment; we provide an atmosphere that is optimal for individual cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. We are committed to working closely with parents in providing the best possible experience for their children.

FatherI'm so grateful for the overflowing love my boy gets at school. He is TIRED everyday in a good way. He is in his dream land of fairytales and stories and always comes home to tell us about them. Thank you for believing in my boy and not making him one of the stigma’s of ADHD.
