About Preschool
Our Preschool program provides children abundant opportunities to explore, discover, question, and experiment, sparking curiosity and a lifelong passion for learning. Each classroom features dedicated learning centers focused on subjects such as art, language, sensorial activities, math, science, dramatic play, STEM, and practical life skills.
We have carefully chosen the materials that support the understanding of concepts such as size, measurement, quantity, weight, and language, as well as various scientific ideas. Students also actively explore creative mediums like oil pastels, watercolors, and clay. The classroom environment and routines are thoughtfully designed to ensure safety, structure, and predictability.
