We provide the educational environment for each child to act independently even in a group while caring their individual disabilities and symptoms.

Enriching vocabulary makes children’s possibilities bigger. In order to accomplish this, we develop educational activities to enrich and develop the skills which children already have (-skill to communicate, think logically, write and read), and to discover their potentials to stretch.
