Purple ‘Potamus Preschool was established in 2002. Yaqoot Adnan is the existing owner and director of Purple ‘Potamus. Yaqoot has a degree in Child Development Education from California, U.S.A. She also holds a Preschool Teacher and a Preschool Director certificate from USA and a Child Development Supervisor certificate from Canada. She has an extensive experience in teaching and management skills.
Purple Potamus Preschool is fortunate and proud to have not only great teachers but staff who love being with children to watch them learn and see them grow. Each class has a teacher and teacher’s aide. Both staff members have a degree and/or certificate in Education or Early Childhood Education and/or experience in a preschool/daycare environment. We expect our teachers to focus on the child’s individual needs, show initiative and creativity, work as a team, and uphold the preschool’s standards and policies.
Tell Me & I Forget • Show Me & I Remember • Involve Me & I understand
We believe that children learn best by being actively involved in their own learning through a variety of hands on activities. These activities are meaningful for the children ,appropriate for each child’s developmental level and are designed to allow each child to progress at his or her own pace.
We believe that self-esteem is the foundation upon which all-learning rests. If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, and learn to trust and share their feelings. We believe that each child is unique and holds special talents and wondrous gifts.
