At P.R.E.P. Center Manila,
learning begins with play.

Founded nearly 10 years ago by three passionate educators, P.R.E.P. was born out of a desire to give young children what they truly deserve:

 

the freedom to explore, imagine, and learn at their pace—through play.

​

At a time when play was often placed on the back burner in early childhood education, we saw a growing need to bring it back to the heart of the learning process. We believed then—and still do now—that unstructured and structured play are not just enjoyable activities but essential experiences that help toddlers and preschoolers make sense of the world, connect with others, and develop lifelong skills.

​

The name P.R.E.P. reflects our hopes for every child who walks through our doors:

​

Play. Recreate. Educate. Progress.

​

Our democratic approach to education allows children 1 to 4 years old to explore their interests with ease, relate meaningfully with their peers, and grow in ways that support their competencies.

​

We don’t rush learning.

We guide it—with patience, passion, and joy.

​

With diverse backgrounds in early childhood education, psychology, and child development, our founders share a united vision: to create a nurturing space that honors childhood and fosters a lifelong love of learning.

​

Come see what sets P.R.E.P. apart.

Where play isn’t a break from learning—it’s the way we learn.
