Where joy and learning meet
A Christ-centered foundation for joyful, lifelong learning, nurturing character, curiosity and care so children grow in faith, confidence and kindness.
Learning through play and faith
Our dedicated educators create a supportive environment that values both academic and spiritual development. We celebrate each child's unique gifts, encouraging creativity and critical thinking.
Classes: Crèche, Pre-1, Pre-2, Pre-3 and Pre-4. The day balances morning circle and Bible time, literacy and numeracy readiness, creative play, outdoor exploration, rest and reflection.
Meals: a nutritious lunch is served daily. Parents may also send a small snack or lunch pack.
