About Us

Our goal is to provide each child with a meaningful educational experience that gives each child many and varied opportunities to explore and discover his/her world and develop into a self-confident thinker, do-er and problem solver. The preschool creates a friendly, social atmosphere, where each child's feeling of self-respect is nurtured and developed, as well as respect and consideration for others.
