Give your child the gift that will last a lifetime... the gift of love... at Agapeland!
Preschool - Kindergarten
A heartfelt approach to early education!
cocoons
We provide a heartwarming, and safe landing into your child's home away from home!
Our youngest students are welcomed from 2.5 years old. We offer full English immersion with fun-filled activities to help them learn and make lots of little friends!
The Nursery offers a warm and loving atmosphere, providing a safe and stimulating environment for children's first steps out of the nest. Our classrooms are spacious, and brightly decorated providing ample space for children to feel their autonomy while enjoying the group atmosphere. Students are encouraged to select and choose their own toys, puzzles and games allowing them to enjoy what they like most.
We seek to develop our students personalities through social and emotional skills. We encourage the development of speech for effective communication and increase their awareness of the environment, both of other's boundaries and needs as well as expressing their own boundaries and needs.
Our physical activities enhance motor skills and creative thinking.
The transition to Nursery can be an emotional time for child and care givers. This is where we step in, through our experience we are here to guide you through the process of 'letting go'.
In our experience, weening children from breastfeeding, and pacifiers, and providing them with the independence of their own bed prepares their minds, emotions and hearts for the important step of a classroom environment.
We encourage you to begin potty-training at home and will support you at school as well.
Whether you are looking to return to work, moving into our area or ready to increase your child's knowledge and social skills - AGAPELAND provides everything you and your child need for a soft landing!

Celebrating 25 March Greek Independance day in our Auditorium
butterflies
Our Kindergarten graduates are fully prepared for 1st Grade whether parents choose Greek, English or an International Primary School!
Butterflies are taught to be socially conscious and compassionate. Social skills are an important part of our program. We teach respect for each others needs, wants and differences. Social skills prepare Butterflies for the real world. Butterflies learn to master dexterity and physical skills in our regular athletics and garden play! Butterflies often participate in the cooking of the school lunch.
Our students are eager to read and have found their self confidence needed for the big step into primary education!
A special groups are dedicated to both Greek and English Primary School Preparation.
Our 4.5 - 5.5 year old Butterflies are ready to soar!
In their final school year at AGAPELAND, they will master their skills! They will strengthen their sense of identity utilizing the power of applied creativity in academics, social skills, art and problem solving! We encourage them to find their own voice!

Special Needs
Special Needs Children are welcomed with love and acceptance at AGAPELAND.
We wholeheartedly welcome and have space for Special Needs Children. Special Needs Children are accompanied by a 'shadow teacher' and enjoy class with all the children.
Birthday Parties and Field tRips
We celebrate Birthdays at AGAPELAND! We love when parents bring in cake for the whole class so we gather the children to sing and dance and celebrate! We wear hats, and play games and make sure that each child feels how special they are! At AGAPELAND we offer regular fun-filled educational field trips to the Zoo, to the Aquarium, and so much more!
choosing the right school for your child
We believe in the "whole child" approach to education. This means that body, mind and spirit are treated with equal importance. We meet each child's personal and educational milestones naturally by singing, laughing and playing in a pressure and stress-free environment!
The school campus provides a safe, peaceful and stimulating environment! No pollution, no traffic, no distractions!
The spacious garden is developmentally designed. Children play among the trees, relax in grass, hold bunnies, and observe birds and ducks in a duck pond! Children are regularly exercising in the play areas, tennis court and swimming pool.
We are a boutique school with spacious classrooms that are full of sun light and brightly decorated with the children's art.
We have found that the best way to apply knowledge in the minds of children comes hand-in-hand with the gentleness and loving care of the teacher.
At Agapeland director Sandra Petrovits has pioneered a unique approach to early education, due to her knowledge and experience in psychology, learning disabilities and special education.
"Where a parent is happy, a child will be happy!"
