Welcome to Alphabet-A

Where Learning Comes Alive!

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, but involve me and I learn."

- Benjamin Franklin

At Alphabet-A we believe that children learn best through hands-on, experiential activities that engage their senses, curiosity, and imagination. Our daycare center is designed to provide a dynamic and interactive learning environment where every child can explore, discover, and grow.

Hands-On Activities

Our curriculum is centered around hands-on activities that allow children to actively participate in their learning; igniting children's curiosity and spark their creativity.

Child-Led Exploration

Through open-ended activities and inquiry-based learning experiences, we empower children to follow their interests, ask questions, and seek answers through exploration and experimentation.

Qualified Educators

Our team consists of passionate educators who are dedicated to providing enriching experiences that inspire a love for learning.

Focus on Life Skills

In addition to academic knowledge, we emphasize the development of practical life skills, social skills, and emotional intelligence, laying a strong foundation for future success.
