Developing a more creative, playful, inclusive and skilled workforce in early childhood education who can champion the intellectual and holistic needs of all young learners.
Our Vision: We strongly believe that we can make the world a better place for all children, and not only can we achieve this dream but we can also empower all children by enabling them to use their own voices so they can reach their full potential in a better world. Using sign languages as a second language of communication and instruction in all early years programs, we are ensuring that no child is left behind in education or silenced in life because of their disabilities or inability to communicate verbally at any given time.
