About Panda Pen

We aim to develop the whole child emotionally, socially, cognitively, physically and spiritually. We want to encourage children to communicate with those around them and foster a positive attitude towards school and learning. We strive to create an environment that builds a strong foundation for future academic progress.

    Our Staff...

    All our staff have a true calling and passion for teaching young children. They are experienced and have First- Aid and CPR training. Each of our teachers is committed to assisting the individual child to reach his/her full potential. We offer parent interviews to discuss your child’s progress. Classes have a Teacher’s Assistant who is available for support to the teacher and the children during the mornings. They also help keep our classes and school clean. We have a full-time Security Guard on duty to ensure safety on the property.
