1. Our uniquely designed home-based environment gives emotional comfort to many children. Moreover, our beautiful child-sized furniture, which is nature-themed, helps children not only to have fun during play but also to focus on lessons.
2. The School’s curriculum is organized around monthly themes with complementing weekly subjects. Both directly and indirectly, JJ Children gain experiences through carefully-crafted presentations that incorporate Montessori and Reggio methods and materials. Our nature-friendly educational supplies encourage each child’s growth through a combination of visual and sensorial learning, while also fostering social skills through creative role play.

4. Our staff is bilingual, providing an important advantage in understanding and respecting multi-culture children and his/her family.
