Our Approach:
Growth and development of a child start in the womb. Developmental assessment is an essential part of everyday practice. We recognize that the most complex and fine shades of expression in a child have their gradual and natural origin. Our goal is to motivate children to find pleasure in learning, develop their ability to pay attention to others, and engage in purposeful activities.

Importance of Nutrition:
Nutrition has a direct relationship with mental and physical development. We emphasize the importance of a balanced diet in nurturing a child's growth and cognitive abilities. Intelligence is the product of both nature and nurture, and we strive to provide the best environment to enhance both aspects.
-

We adopt a comprehensive child care system with high-quality, developmentally appropriate early intervention, education, and support programs for young children and their families.
