Our program fosters creativity, stimulates the imagination, creates an inner sense of trust and autonomy and develops intellectual, physical and social skills. The emphasis is on the development of the child's self-esteem empowering the child in independent decision making. We provide hands-on experiences that engage in problem solving and enhance acquisition of cognitive and linguistic skills within a developmental play-based system.
