“Blossom preschool is a place where we promote an innovative, progressive approach to preschool education. What we want is for children to learn about the world together with their guides/teachers in a warm and safe environment, where we listen to their needs and treat them with respect. Our job is to stimulate their innate curiosity and creativity. We don’t push children into milestones, e.g. we don’t aspire to have all our 5-year-olds reading fluently. Rather we do our best to make sure that by the time they leave our preschool they are ready – socially, emotionally and cognitively – to begin their school education happily and without stress.”
