If children feel you have confidence in them they will feel they can achieve. In short, do as little to or for your child and as much with your child as possible.
Education is a life long journey. We want your child’s first steps to be as positive as possible. Join us as we walk the path of learning together.
CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE -
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world
