We recently celebrated the opening of our new preschool wing welcoming over 160 two and three year old children to our beautiful, purpose-built facilities. Parents and children delighted at the bright, colorful classrooms, the large playground and the green gardens. There were inevitably a few tears as children said goodbye to parents, perhaps for the first time in their lives, but they quickly joined the fun activities and started to make friends.

Each spacious classroom has a large outside covered space for art and craft projects, a reading corner and a large space for physical movement. There are some very cute, size-appropriate bathroom facilities. By day 2, the children were already settled into their new routines and enjoying singing, dancing, listening to stories and playing together. The program aims to provide nutrition and hygiene as well as giving all the happy preschoolers the best possible start to their education.

Thanks to all the teachers, aides and parents who worked hard to make the first week a great success.
