Leadership Team

On behalf of the board of governors, the leadership and the school teams at St. Joseph’s Institution International Preschool, I welcome all children and their families to our beautiful school!

We look forward to creating a place where many lasting and happy memories and friendships are formed as the children encounter their “firsts” in school.

We have an exciting full-day programme and dynamic spaces in the environment where children can explore, experiment and engage as they learn about themselves and the world around them. Families are integral to our curriculum and programme, and we welcome families to partake in the various activities planned for them. Dr. Geraldine Teo-Zuzarte
