Our Mission Statement
We believe that children learn best in a secure and happy environment, where they feel
valued, trusted and confident in their own ability.
We also believe that children should be challenged with a range of learning experiences so
that they develop to the maximum of their potential and enjoy learning to the full through
the promotion of enthusiasm and curiosity.
Through first hand experiences, we aim to develop in our children a love of learning, pride
in their work, respect for their surroundings and good relationships with others at home
and at Preschool.
