OUR STORY
What We’re All About
Skylarks Community Pre-school adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood education. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave our Nursery School, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.
