Our program promotes meaningful interactions among children, their families, teachers, and the community, ensuring that each child feels connected and supported.
Learning Through Exploration
We recognize the importance of play in a child’s development. Our program encourages active exploration of the environment, providing opportunities for children to engage with materials, participate in activities, and interact with peers and adults.
