What We're all About

Our Focus is on Children.

The focus of our childcare centre is to provide an enriched program that enables the children to develop in a warm and caring atmosphere. Each child will have the opportunity to grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, creatively, and physically. By designing a stimulating program, the children will not only acquire new skills, but also form a positive self-image.

At our centre, each child is viewed as an individual with his or her own special needs and is encouraged to have independence through developing problem-solving techniques.

Through interactions with child and teacher, we want to establish positive verbal and non-verbal reinforcement by providing a flexible curriculum that is child-oriented and teacher-guided. Our centre will provide a home-like atmosphere of informality, security, and planned/unplanned experiences in which children can learn and grow.
