Making a difference in your child's growth and development.

Preschool is one of the most powerful stages in a child’s early development. It’s when their personalities shine, their interests start to take shape, and their curiosity about the world takes flight. During preschool, children usually discover their areas of interest. BARBEY PREP understands the importance of helping them have the motivation to hone their skills and love for their newfound interests. That’s why our preschool provides rich, meaningful experiences that nurture their skills, deepen their understanding, and inspire a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. We provide preschool activities that will expand the perspectives and content knowledge of young learners to prepare them for the future. Our preschool program will prepare young learners by building meaningful learning from their existing experiences and clarifying new understanding of the world around them.
