School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

Our focus on a child's overall growth enables not only academic readiness and preparedness, but also their social, emotional, and physical growth. We believe that each child has unique and individual talents and interests. Our teachers honor these differences with customized attention and activities to help each child learn and grow at their own pace, in their own style.
We know that preschooler's physical development is much more important than the academic development. We provide free breakfast, hot lunch and afternoon snack. The menu and food is supervised by Ms. Belinda Xu who has a Medical Doctor degree from Sun-yat Sen University of Medical Sicenses
