Jazzy Preschool is dedicated to offering high-quality education in a caring and positive atmosphere. Children can flourish at their own pace, developing a sense of independence and a positive self-image through meaningful play. The teachers are nurturing educators who understand early childhood development. Native speakers of English, French and Chinese mindfully encourage language learning to ensure these languages naturally become the children’s mother tongues. This is achieved through a “one teacher, one language” approach. Keeping in mind that Jazzy Preschool is most of the students’ first exposure to a school setting, teachers help with the transition by focusing activities on healthy development, self-discovery, cognitive skills, and self-help. Strict control is maintained over food quality and safety; nutritious and healthy meals are prepared from the school’s in-house kitchen.

Word from a Parent:
“Our son has been attending Jazzy Preschool for a year and is extremely happy there. He is always reluctant to leave at the end of the day and full of enthusiasm on the way home. I have every confidence in the teaching staff, which is sensitive to the needs of their young charges while providing a structured day. The teachers take the time to get to know the children they care for. We receive regular updates about the approaches they are taking to help the children master the three languages used at school or themes they are covering each week/month. I cannot recommend the crèche highly enough.”
