In 1976, our preschool began operations. Up to 20 kids between the ages of 2 and 5 are served by this privately owned and run facility.
We are dedicated to giving kids and their parents a warm and inviting environment with play and learning opportunities through a variety of activities. To ensure that all of our kids have fun and develop to their full potential, we have solid knowledge of early years practise.
We accept kids from all social and racial backgrounds and adhere to an equal opportunity admissions policy.
