Greetings from New Invention Preschool. I hope you have fun exploring our website. It is a window into our school and will give website visitors a sense of the daily experiences students have there. Together with the staff, I have worked very hard to provide a fun, educational, but secure atmosphere for our young children. We have developed a curriculum that inspires and captivates, encouraging learning for life, and have built up a system of care and guidance that not only supports but also encourages independence. Being the leader of such a learning community makes me happy and proud. Remember, my door is always open, your ideas, wishes and feelings are important to us, so that we can continue to grow together.
