Preschool is a crucial time for your kids to be exposed socially and gain a sense of self by being with their peers in school. It is therefore important to choose which institution to send them early on.

The school is where they will be spending most of childhood, after all. Education aside, it’s important that your kid is exposed to a good academic environment.

If you’ve been looking for good schools to send your kids, here’s a list of six prestigious preschools in Metro Manila, ready to provide your kids with quality and progressive type of world-class education.
