About Medical Partnerships
In partnership with The Bluff Medical Clinic, we conduct biannual health check-ups, consultations for children’s health, and emergency medical responses.
About Evacuation Drills
With the highest priority on children’s safety, we conduct regular monthly evacuation drills. These drills are based on various scenarios to ensure swift and calm actions during disasters or emergencies, creating a safe learning environment for the children.
About Security
The building we occupy is equipped with a SECOM security system, and surveillance cameras are installed both inside and outside to ensure the safety of the children at all times.
