A place where children learn in a fun, safe and supportive environment. Our vision is to create a community of connected and lifelong learners.

The Preschool provides a welcoming, caring and exciting environment where your child is the central focus. The core business of this Preschool is to provide age appropriate educational programs that maximise each child’s potential development and love of learning. We believe that children learn best through play which involves them in concrete, active experiences.
