My daughter sings! And well! She is four and a half. We are her parents trying to discover her abilities but only thanks to the Staff of the Preschool this came about. All this in the environment where she is just learning English (she is attending Preschool only for the past six months – with no English abilities on the beginning).
Staff's conviction to teach and develop shows also through the other activities that our daughter is exposed to – long list... All done in the playful and stress free environment.
By the way, very nice and large play area.
