Our mission
The mission of The Little Mole International Preschool is to provide quality care for children through a cooperative partnership between parents and teachers.
Our focus is to provide a stimulating early educational experience to promote each child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.
Our goal is to develop and support each child’s desire to be a lifelong learner.
Our curriculum
The KidSparkz Curriculum is a major part of our daily activities for both nursery and preschool.
The children are introduced to music, stories, art, customs and food from various aspects of everyday life and culture. Relevant cultural holidays are joyfully celebrated, and every child and family can feel included and respected.
Children learn through playing and experimenting. Active participation is encouraged.
Additional activities
For our preschoolers we offer a variety of afternoon activities including cooking, yoga, dance and sport.
During the school year, children receive visits from the police, doctors and firefighters. We celebrate Carnival, Halloween, and Holiday parties with our children and their families.
In our story book program parents are encouraged to come to school and read books to the children.

FAQ
What is the procedure for enrolling your child in the Preschool?
It all starts with a phone call or email to our office. After this we invite you for a meeting during which you will meet us, see our facilities and receive information about our preschool. You will be given an application form to fill out and a copy the contract.
What is an adaptation program?
Fundamentally, our adaptation program is the opportunity for your child to get used to our preschool before starting their full-time program. Every child goes through the adaptation process which begins with a thirty minute session on the first day. The more comfortable your child feels in the school; the longer they can stay with us. This way, we are building positive memories about this new place and we are making sure that your child wants to come back the next day.
No matter if you choose a 3 day or 5 day program, the adaptation program requires your child to attend our school every day. The class teacher will inform you daily about the progress your child is making.
What meals do we serve throughout the day?
The children at The Little Mole Preschool have a morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack which is provided by Musa; a local catering company who delivers fresh meals to us daily. The menu is sent to parents monthly so that you may have the opportunity to see what kinds of foods your child is eating. We can arrange for vegetarian and allergy free menu as well if necessary.
