Philosophy
In Little Gems, we believe that children are born to be tenacious, interested, capable and curious. They learn the best working with other children, family, teachers, and the community. As such, Little Gems strive to create an environment where every child under our care will have diverse learning opportunities.
Quoted by Reggio-Emilia, children possess 100 languages, through which they are expressed in the way they move, draw, paint, build, sculpt, do collages, act, sing and play music etc. Thus, Little Gems believes in a whole-child approach that focused on doing rather than listening. We emphasize values, environment, and child-centered learning. To do so, a child must interact with his/her environment. We train our teachers to successfully carry out the lessons and create the environment to ensure that our children are exposed to various learning opportunities.
Our Motto
Little Gems Preschool, a Great Place to Grow!
