Nurturing Growth Through Play

Play is at the heart of all of our learning programs. Play promotes self-motivation, self-direction and self-confidence. Play helps to develop cooperation, team work and social skills. Play encourages curiosity, persistence and concentration; and builds language and numeracy.

Our play-based learning programs will broaden your child’s educational experiences and set the foundation for a love of learning. Our learning programs include:
