Get to Know Us
Our Logo
Our logo embodies the spirit of the eight intelligences innate in all of us. The red oval represents the child, full of vigour and enthusiasm. The eight strokes in different colours represent the eight intelligences: logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, bodily kinesthetic and naturalistic.
The 8 intelligences in the child emerge and blossom with the nurturing that goes on in PMI and in collaboration with parents. When this happen, the child cannot fail but touch the lives of the people around them.
why choose us
Childhood comes around but once. The early years are crucial years for children’s holistic development. We believe that it is important to nurture all forms of intelligences to lay the foundation for fulfilling children’s potential.
We also believe that it is not enough to be just intelligent in many areas but that children should grow up with good and strong values like love, kindness, respect, commitment, honesty and courage, to guide them in their life.
We believe people in children’s lives make a difference in the quality of their lives.
This is why we select well qualified teachers who are warm, loving and experienced and why we work closely with parents in the care, development and education of their children.
