The Vanessa Quai Music Foundation has taken a step forward in promoting interest in music. One way of doing that is through children, and they have opened a day care school for the purpose, at Avenue Edmond Colardeau, Independence Park.

"We offer a very high standard syllabus for day care which allows toddlers to enjoy their learning in a very creative environment," said the center manager Christian Quai.

It is no surprise as the center glows with energy from current art work on the walls and final touches by the center's carers before the school opened this week.

Bright wall to wall cartoon characters keep a lively and interesting brightness throughout the center. Office space, the classroom area, a small outdoor swimming basin, separate toddlers rest rooms for boys and girls, and wide verandahs for practical exercises and a huge backyard for sport activities are all part of the center.

The major sponsor behind this new day care school is none other than Vanessa Quai and for good reason, too, as one main focus is the arts.

"We hope to give these kids the chance to experience as much practical aspect of learning as possible so music, dancing, painting, puppet lessons and sport activities are as much a part of our syllabus as class work," says Mrs Quai.

The area surrounding the day care center is for kids to enjoy free space within the property, and as the manager explained, "There is huge space and we will have a proper playground and sport ground and there is still room to expand."

Designed to provide a safe and good nursery children's home for busy and working parents to utilise, the school also specialises in preparing early aged kids pre-school and formal education.
The school offers a bonus for top performing child with a trip to New Caledonia for the child and a parent at the end of each year.
