Our Story

Founded by Andra Ciorba and Cristina Bajdechi, two visionary educators with a passion for innovative teaching, our journey began seven years ago on a foundation of creativity and the desire to transcend traditional educational boundaries. Our initial venture into the world of education saw us creating interactive workshops designed for infants and their parents, a testament to our belief in the power of early learning experiences.

Driven by our success and the positive feedback from the community, it wasn’t long before our dream expanded into the opening of our kindergarten. Starting with just 11 children, we poured our hearts and souls into creating a nurturing and engaging learning environment. Today, we proudly stand as a thriving educational institution, with over 100 children enrolled in our kindergarten and an expanding primary school.

At the core of our educational philosophy is the dream to offer a different kind of education—one that is rooted in the joy of learning and tailored to the unique needs of each child. Inspired by our roles as mothers, we strive to provide an environment that children are excited to be a part of, where learning feels like a natural and enjoyable part of their day.

Our story is one of growth, driven by a deep-seated belief in the potential of every child and the power of education to change lives. As we look to the future, our vision remains unwavering: to continue innovating, dreaming big, and providing a transformative educational experience that prepares the next generation for the challenges and opportunities of the world ahead.

Philosophy & Mission

Our core belief is that education should enrich the whole individual—intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. We aim to foster an environment that nurtures lifelong learners prepared to make a positive impact on the world. Our curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to encourage critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability, equipping students to thrive in a global context.

We are deeply committed to inclusivity and diversity, proudly welcoming students with Down Syndrome into our community. By providing supportive, tailored learning experiences, we ensure that every student, regardless of their learning needs, is empowered to explore their passions and achieve their full potential. Our mission is to cultivate a compassionate community that values every individual’s contributions, inspiring all our students to pursue excellence and lead with integrity.

Helping Your Child Explore, Grow, & Learn

In a world brimming with infinite possibilities, guiding your child through their journey of exploration, growth, and learning is a profound adventure. At the heart of our philosophy is the unwavering belief that every child possesses unique talents and boundless potential waiting to be discovered. Our mission is to provide a fertile ground where these qualities can flourish, supported by a rich tapestry of experiences designed to nurture creativity, foster resilience, and inspire a lifelong passion for discovery.

We understand that learning extends beyond the traditional classroom walls. It happens in the moments of curiosity, in the challenges that require perseverance, and in the joy of achieving something new. That’s why our approach is holistic, encompassing a wide range of educational and developmental activities that cater to the individual interests and needs of each child. From the arts to sciences, from physical activity to mindfulness, we create an environment that encourages children to explore, grow, and learn in a way that feels natural and exciting to them.

Our commitment goes beyond academic excellence; it is about cultivating a community where children feel valued, understood, and empowered to take the reins of their own learning journey. By partnering with parents, we ensure that every child’s educational journey is a collaborative, supportive, and transformative experience, laying the groundwork for a future where they not only succeed but thrive.

In this ever-changing world, equipping our children with the skills, knowledge, and mindset to navigate life’s challenges is paramount. Join us in fostering an environment where exploration, growth, and learning are the cornerstones of every child’s development, empowering them to become the architects of their own bright futures.

Programs

Nursery: ages 2-4:

Our intimate kindergarten, tailored for children aged 2 to 4 years old, offers a nurturing and engaging learning environment for a maximum group size of 10 children. Each group is attentively guided by a main educator and an assistant, ensuring personalized attention and care for every child. Operating daily from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, our program is designed to support the holistic development of our young learners, focusing on emotional, social, physical, and cognitive growth. Through a balanced daily schedule that includes structured activities and free play, we aim to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and encourage the foundational steps towards lifelong learning in a warm and supportive setting.

Reception: ages 4-5:

Our Reception Group, equivalent to Pre-K, is designed to prepare children for school. In this stage, students engage in more structured activities than in nursery, while still enjoying ample free play time. The focus is on enhancing their attention to tasks through engaging and interactive activities. Our aim is to create a nurturing environment that balances play with learning, fostering a love for school from an early age.

Primary school: age 5-11 (year 1-year 6)

Our Primary School program, encompassing Years 1 to 6, is structured to provide a comprehensive and dynamic learning experience. The educational program is divided into eight main areas of study, ensuring a broad and balanced curriculum. Each year group is taught by a team of specialized teachers, rather than relying on a single teacher for all subjects. This approach allows students to benefit from the expertise of different educators in various fields.

To foster a strong sense of community and support, each group is assigned a dedicated tutor. The tutor serves as the main point of contact, creating a stronger connection with the students and their families. This relationship ensures personalized attention and guidance, helping to address individual needs and nurture each child’s academic and personal development.
