Facilities

Our Grounds & Classrooms

We have five beautifully equipped classrooms, one for each age group and every class has its very own bathroom attached to it. The classrooms are spacious, colourful and well-planned, creating a space that allows children to learn and play. There are two large playgrounds, both of which have AstroTurf. The playgrounds have jungle gyms, bike tracks, swings, sandpits, and more than enough space for children to run and explore their environment.
