Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I think more than a very clean facility and good ownership/directors/teachers, parents care about how their children are "treated". I know that for me, the multi-cultural, the excellent curriculum and exposure my children get is really important, where all children are treated as equals (and are exposed to / taught to appreciate the differences and similarities between people) regardless of who/what they are. That my children are nurtured with love and consideration for them as individual is even more important, as is a strict-hands-off discipline policy, based on values and respect.
School Philosophy & Day in the Life
School Philosophy and Mission
"A BALANCE
between learning and nurturing; self-discovery and guided exploration
