Our Philosophy
Shugah Baybees believes children are naturally curious. They are eager to make meaning of their interactions within a given environment. Children are excited to demonstrate their knowledge and to show their competence, as they master a skill. Shugah Baybees cultivates learning curiosity by using milestone readiness benchmarks as a foundation to curricula design. We go a step further by designing learning environments that stimulate your child’s quest for knowledge and to better understand the world around them. We create positive learning and stimulating interactions between peers, caregivers, and the surrounding community.
