Fact-Checked by Ronna Capili Bonifacio

Early childhood learning is based on trust, experience, and positive relationships. One of the key things that we should consider in choosing a learning facility for our little ones is a safe space where they can enhance their skills and knowledge through a trusting relationship with adults. We would love them to have a worthwhile experience where people speak in nurturing and encouraging ways. Understandably, choosing a preschool can be overwhelming–noting the schools’ varying curricula and teaching methodologies, target budget vs actual tuition fees, proximity, environment, and child’s interests.

We’ve gathered a list of preschools in the BGC area that may offer assessment, tours, and even free trial sessions to help you decide which one may be the best fit for your precious preschooler.
