Preschool (30 months – 6 years) Staff/Child ratio 1:8
EYES Preschool program is designed to help prepare children for kindergarten and lifelong learning. The preschool program allows children to explore different activities within the classroom while becoming acquainted with the daily routine that resembles the school system. Our preschool program complements the ELECT framework. We intertwine our preschool program with the Montessori approach by using real life experiences as teaching guides. We believe that every child is different, and we encourage them to be responsible, independent and interactive at their own pace.
