About Us
The first five years of a child’s life are the most critical developmental years, which determine who they will become later in life. I find it to be my passion to help them grow into the amazing people they will become.
Children have always been my passion. I am blessed with three amazing children and have enjoyed a 36-plus-year career of working with children and families as a teacher, School Principal, and Director of Educational Programs in both the public and private sectors.
My biggest inspiration and teacher is my wife of 36 years and partner, Managing Director, Mrs. Marilyn Duran, along with our three children. Having a front-row seat to Mrs. Marilyn Duran’s career has taught me first-hand all about children and their development.
