The foundation of change and the future of education begins at

We believe that to build character, unlock creativity, inspire curiosity and ignite a true love for learning, we need to venture beyond the classrooms and academicbased teaching. We believe today ’s education needs to evolve to meet the needs of tomorrow ’s increasingly technology-driven world. So, we have #constructed a learning environment that truly encourages child’s own self-discovery and cultivates character building. We believe the learning environment during their formative years is the critical foundation in building their values, interpersonal skills and ‘soft’ skills; qualities that are increasingly valued in the emerging emotional economy of the future. Designed a proprietary curriculum that places great importance
on
language
and
literacy. We believe
language and literacy deeply influences critical thinking and communications skills needed for the future. Formed an energetic team of parent-educators who, not only understands the early childhood development, but knows learning through play in loving and fun environment will create a lifelong love for learning.

TREHAUS KIDS are distinguished by their Strength in Character. Through our proprietary curriculum, they navigate and solve challenges that build and reveal their inner strength, true grit, and resilience. TREHAUS KIDS are Confident Communicators who articulate their passion and translates thoughts into words and actions. TREHAUS KIDS are Lifelong Learners who find joy in learning; who are innately curious creative souls; who are adaptive problemsolvers and do not shy away from challenges. TREHAUS KIDS are Global Citizens who learn empathy and have a sense of purpose. Beyond learning what they can be when they grow up, TREHAUS kids also learn what difference they can make through every day teachings and outside excursions to local community centers, they learn to contribute and effect change in their communities, and the world around them.
