We have a lot of experience in caring for children as our preschool has been operating for more than 20 years.

We are licensed to provide early learning services for 50 children and are a total immersion service. This means that the Samoan language is spoken around 80% of the time. Don’t worry if you or your child are not confident in the language, our trained staff interact with children building on their previous knowledge of the Samoan language and culture.
