Why join our family?

Our Preschool is an opportunity for growth

For many children, preschool is their first experience in a structured setting with teachers and groups of children. It’s an opportunity to learn to share, follow instructions, and begin the foundation for learning that will occur in elementary school.

Preparing children for school

How do high-quality preschools benefit children’s learning and development? And what features should parents look for in a preschool program? One answer to these questions is that our highly trained staff understand the particular ways that young children develop and learn. And we organise space, time and activities to be in sync with children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical abilities.

Promoting social and emotional development

In order to learn, a young child needs to feel cared for and secure with a teacher or caregiver. A 3-year-old child is able to spend time away from parents and build trusting relationships with adults outside the family. Our preschool nurtures warm relationships among children, teachers and parents. And teachers build a close personal connection with each child in their care.

Children thrive when there is consistency in care between home and school. In high-quality preschools, teachers value parents as the experts on their children.

Our Children get to make choices

Children have several choices of activities; a child who is wandering aimlessly is encouraged to choose one that interests him/her. Our teachers are alert to a child who can’t figure out how to enter other children’s play and may offer him/her suggestions on ways to join the group.

Children learn to take care of themselves and others

Our children’s sense of competence and self-worth grow as they learn to take care of themselves and help others. Our teachers appeal to a young child’s desire to engage in “real work” by offering him/her chances to help out in the classroom, for example, by setting the table at snack time. Children are expected to wash their hands before snack time, keep personal belongings in their in order, and put away toys before moving to a new activity.

Our teachers also encourage a child to view themselves as a resource for other children. For example, a teacher might ask a child who’s more competent at pouring water to help a child who is learning. Or she might ask a older preschooler to show a newcomer where the sand toys are kept etc…
