Our philosophy in the Butterfly Room incorporates incorporates diversity into our curriculum and facilitates each child's learning by including individual interests and capabilities. The Butterfly Room's planning for the children focuses on the development of your child's language, cognitive development, physical and emotional well being. We believe each child to be a capable individual and therefore encourage self help skills in all areas. We are a team of dedicated professionals who are enthused to interact with your child as we share their play and learning.
