The International Preschools provides children and their families from all over the world an opportunity to share their cultures and gain a sense of international awareness through mutual understanding and respect. All children are individuals with unique qualities and interests. Our developmentally based curriculum is designed to build on each child’s strengths. Through play we seek to promote the cognitive emotional social and physical growth of each child within a nurturing atmosphere. The cornerstone of our curriculum is a commitment to help children develop self esteem while encouraging independence and emphasizing concern and respect for one another.
