Our philosophy
Our preschool recreation programs reflect the understanding of the importance of play in
a child's healthy development during the early years. In these play-based recreation programs,
children are encouraged to develop social competencies, emotional maturity, language skills,
cognitive development and fundamental movement skills. We believe that play is a necessity for
a child's healthy development.
