The world’s youngest explorers! Children in this program discover, investigate, manipulate objects and use all their five senses in order to learn by experiences and to adapt to their environment. In other words: develop their minds and brain connections!

Commencing at a very early age, Nelly’s Childcare & Preschool will nurture your child’s development and take care of his/her daily needs the same way you do at home. Our qualified infant teachers will build a loving bond of trust with your baby and with you that motivates the child to become more self-confident, eager to explore his/her surroundings and to achieve developmental milestones. Nelly’s Childcare & Preschool offers an environment safe and rich in activities and exercise where our ‘little explorers’ will be exposed to a wide variety of materials and sensory experiences that will help develop their maximum potential in an environment full of smiles and hugs! Every day, you will receive a log of your child’s feeding, sleeping, diapering and learning activities that we did throughout the day.
