What Parents Think

"Our daughter loves attending Taiyo! She adores her teachers and friends. Trips to the library, outside time, free play and art are some of her favorite things about Taiyo. She is well cared for and tells us the new things she has learned daily. We are thrilled to have her at an education-based centre that focuses on the whole child."
