Our Philosophy
We believe that education is a process in which children’s play is the main component.
Through play, children develop social, physical, emotional, and practical skills while cognitive functions such as problem-solving and language development are being fostered.
We meet the basic needs of each child by setting up an environment which is conducive to developing self-confidence, creative thinking, a feeling of pride and positive sense of individuality.
We encourage each child to become an independent being and to explore and question the world around him/her.
