From the Puffins Preschool
Puffins Preschool was founded in 1986 and is still operating today. Our preschool is administered by a committee comprising parents, caregivers, grandparents, a chairman, secretary, and treasurer, as well as the preschool manager. A strong committee with significant parental participation is essential, and it has the benefit of giving parents and other caregivers a sincere voice in the upbringing of their children.
Our goal at Puffins is to give your kid access to high-quality care and a stimulating learning environment. We are well-versed in early years practise so that every kid can realise their full potential.
In order to create a strong relationship, we lay a lot of focus on effective teamwork between the manager, employees, and parents and carers. We provide free orientation sessions and would be happy to show you around.
Children that have gone to Puffins have great attitudes toward education, school, and other kids.
It is obvious that Puffins places a strong premium on independence, self-assurance, and the capacity to effectively communicate with a variety of people.
