A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR :

The last 15 years of my professional career has been a rewarding journey. My educational experience of a Masters in Social Work and a Masters in Child Psychology, combined with my Montessori certification from Association of Montessori Internationale (AMI) has enabled me to develop an insight on the developmental needs of the children. From being a Social worker, then a licensed Child and Family therapist and now a Montessorian/educator, I look back and note the one thing that was the common link in all these areas and that is “WORKING FOR OUR CHILDREN”. From focusing on the developmental needs of children to now focusing on the educational needs of children, my mission is to strive to provide a strong educational foundation for our children. Our motto is to respect and accept each child in our care. Our warm nurturing environment, combined with our planned classroom and well qualified staff would encompass all areas of learning and development. We want to enrich our program with a number of rewarding/enriching experiences. As we constantly strive to match the standards that we have set for ourselves, we would value any opinion, feedback and information. Our open door policy, combined with a suggestion box would be reviewed regularly to improvise ourselves. We hope to be in partnership with you and work together for our children’s future.
