Founder's Speech

“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at the end.”

Albert Einstein

Welcome to the International Preschool and Kindergarten,

I am the owner of this lovely green school, where each child is accepted and appreciated for his/her uniqueness. My teachers show one-on-one attention to make your child feel comfortable and be successful. We are trying to build a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment for our children.

Pursuing a PhD in Early Childhood Education at Walden University, MN, USA, learning through play is extremely important for me. My specialization is technology implementation into the Early Childhood Education curriculum. Hence, coding classes are a crucial part of our succesful curriculum. My undergraduate and MS degrees are both in Civil Engineering, therefore, science and math are also important topics at the International Preschool and Kindergarten.

We were established in 1974, and I have been working as the executive manager since the 2005-2006 academic year. 80% of our students are coming from different countries. We all enjoy and benefit from this cultural diversity. I have two children and a granddaughter.  I am married to a wonderful man, who supports our school since the first day.

I’m aware of the tremendous opportunity given to us in creating the very first step of your child’s academic life. We have the opportunity to instill a love of learning that can be nurtured and empowered to grow into something truly beautiful.

What an honor, privilege, and responsibility; what a gift.
