Forestville Preschool

We unlock and nurture your child’s desire to learn, to explore and extend their interests, skills and knowledge. Our preschool program assists children aged 3 to 5 years to prepare for school. Through open-ended play and structured activities, we teach them the skill of learning, while helping them build essential emotional, social and communication skills for life.

Our programs acknowledge the uniqueness of each child and celebrates their strengths, interests, personality and learning styles, and evolve alongside them.
