Meet our team
Our educational continuum is structured into seven distinct phases, each meticulously tailored to address specific developmental milestones. To facilitate administration and differentiation, each center is designated by a unique name. Parents should be advised that this structure represents a single educational institution operating across multiple premises, and the transition between phases is internal and automatic.
