Which is why we have taken special care to createa warm, welcoming and cheerful atmosphere, in whichchildren feel secure and happy. An environment that makesthem want to come to school each morning.Learning is encouraged and facilitated through enlightened,child-friendly teachers; individual attention to children; groupdiscussions and interactions and carefully selected books andlearning aids. The emphasis is on anxiety-free learning ratherthan reading and writing by rote. Nature, singing and paintingare a much-loved part of everyday school life.
