In this phase, toddlers are naturally curious and eager to explore. Our toddler program introduces early learning concepts through structured play, supporting language, cognitive, and physical development. Activities are designed to foster social skills, emotional expression, and early problem-solving abilities, all in a secure and engaging setting.
Preschool Program

Our preschool program is rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, where learning is child-led and inquiry-based. Preschoolers are encouraged to pursue their interests, engage in hands-on projects, and collaborate with peers, which helps them develop critical thinking, communication, and interpersonal skills. Our curriculum combines literacy, math, science, and creative arts to provide a well-rounded foundation for lifelong learning.

The Reggio Emilia Approach is a renowned philosophy of early childhood education that emphasizes the child as a curious, capable, and resourceful learner.

In this environment, children are encouraged to explore their interests and questions through hands-on projects, collaborative activities, and creative expression.
