Both programs are play-based learning and designed to develop the whole child intellectually, socially, physically, emotionally and cognitively. Both preschools offer a licensed program that provides a safe and friendly transition between home and school. A diverse setting is offered in which children of various cultures and backgrounds can share and learn about each other. Teachers are qualified and experienced in Early Childhood Education and are certified in CPR and First Aid.
