Your child’s first educational
encounters will influence their attitude toward all future learning. We
endeavor to make each child’s first
formal learning experiences positive and rewarding. By nurturing
each child’s special talents, we
strive to create a love of learning
and a love of self. Learning and Sharing is licensed by the Department of Welfare and the Department of Education.
