Blue Bird Of Alexandria's philosophy is to help children develop problem solving skills, become observers of their environment around them and learn to take responsibility for their own education.
Children are naturally inquisitive they want and like to learn.
Our challenge is to keep this desire alive by helping them understand their world through senses, feelings and their intellects.
It is our goal to provide a supportive atmosphere that will encourage each child to develop physically, emotionally, cognitively and socially.
