Quotes
When everything is preschool, nothing is preschool.
Preschool is a time when children arrive at school as natural learners, creative and curious, and leave as lifelong learners.
Preschool is such a fleeting moment, a time of discovery, of curiosity, of creativity. It is a time when children have a million questions and are driven by an insatiable desire to find answers.
