The benefits which flow from our purpose are the development of pre-school children in an integrated learning environment with active involvement of parents/carers resulting in improved health and education. These benefits are evidenced through feedback

from parents and schools and through regular independent evaluation of our services by statutory authorities. It is not anticipated that our purpose leads to any harm to our beneficiaries.
