The 初中's pre-kindergarten program provides a nurturing, child-centered environment for children ages 3 to 4. The program helps children learn critical social and cognitive skills to build the necessary foundation for lifelong learning. Teachers strive to help students develop a positive self-image, enhanced interpersonal skills and a sense of independence. They offer encouragement and kindness as children begin their educational journey – academically, 在艺术上, 身体上和社交上.

智慧始于奇迹

To be a child is to view the world through a lens of wonder. It is that very sense of wonder that makes early childhood education so natural and important. Through our team of certified early childhood educators, we nurture this wonder and enthusiasm in a pre-kindergarten program that sparks a love of learning. The program prepares students to transition in one or two years to the 初中's kindergarten, creating a base of intellectual and social experiences upon which they can continue to build.
