We invite children to explore, create and manipulate ideas, toys and materials in ways that enable them to learn and grow in personally meaningful ways. Whether in our pre-school or toddler classes, we strive to develop children's emotional intelligence and impart to them basic human values like compassion, honesty and respect.
