Expertise Areas
We provide Quality Care in the school grounds.
“A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark.”
We acknowledge the importance of play and leisure activities which provide opportunities for children to learn as they discover, improvise, and create. Play is very important; it is the most effective tool. It is central to a child’s learning and development. Play is non-threatening, spontaneous, and meaningful.
