Description

At Steeplechase, we cultivate an environment that promotes children's growth, learning, and skill development, which is both gratifying and enriching. Teachers are tasked with creating and executing educational activities like storytelling, art projects, and curriculum-based lessons for young children.

Building a school family is important and encourage throughout the year with monthly family activities.
