Word from a Parent:
“Like most parents, before sending my child to kindergarten I worried about helping my daughter take that crucial first step. On the first day of school, witnessing teachers interacting with enthusiasm, professionalism, and watchful attention with the children eased my anxiety. Also, discussions with the headmaster and the doctor clarified lingering doubts.”
– Zheng Wei, father of Zheng Huiyue (Class PKB)
