About Preschool

Preschool serves as the vital cornerstone of a child’s educational journey, which is why UMCA Rich Tree Academy approaches these formative years with the utmost dedication. Our curriculum significantly exceeds the Ministry of Education’s standard requirements, focusing on providing the essential building blocks for long-term academic excellence.

By utilizing the most effective pedagogical techniques, we prepare our youngest learners for a seamless transition into school life. Our kindergarten department emphasizes a philosophy of gentle encouragement, helping students develop executive function and the ability to focus-skills that are critical for success in elementary school and beyond. That’s a great foundation and preparation for grade 1.
