A Curriculum That Grows With Your Child
Our curriculum is tailored to suit the unique needs and interests of each child. It includes early literacy, numeracy, creative arts, physical activity, and social-emotional development. We champion hands-on learning, with integrated STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) experiences that build critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Children aged up to three participate in our Evolution Program, designed to support early development and discovery. Children aged three to five join our Transition to School Program, which helps them build confidence and school readiness.
