Junior Seekers is an after-school programme dedicated to provide quality care for primary school students. We work to bring character development and effective learning to young children and their communities regardless of religion, race, language or culture. Here, we pride ourselves to develop responsible stewards of the Earth who love and care for our environment.
Our programme hinges on universal values and character development. The safety and welfare of our students are our utmost priority. Our teachers are trained and experienced in caring for our students. The programme aims to develop Well-Mannered, Compassionate, Resilient, Nature-Loving and Empowered children.
