🌱 Beyond Academics: The Heart of Learning
When parents think of preschool, they often think of ABCs and 123s. But at Gardenia, we know childhood is about much more than just numbers and letters — it’s about helping little humans grow into thoughtful, kind, and confident individuals. And that begins with Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

🌱 What is Emotional Intelligence?
EQ is a child’s ability to recognize and manage their own emotions, understand others’ feelings, and build positive relationships. Research shows that children with high EQ are better at solving problems, adapting to change, and thriving in social situations — skills that matter far beyond the classroom.

🌱 How We Teach EQ at Gardenia
At Gardenia, Emotional Intelligence isn’t an “extra,” it’s at the core of everything we do. Whether it’s learning to take turns during play, expressing feelings through art, or showing empathy during group projects, children are guided gently to recognize, articulate, and manage emotions in age-appropriate ways.

Our teachers act as cheerleaders, not taskmasters, modeling kindness, patience, and respect every day. Through theme-based events, storytelling, dramatization, and No Book Wednesdays, we create countless opportunities for children to practise EQ in real life.

🌱 Why Parents Choose EQ-Focused Education
In today’s fast-changing world, IQ alone isn’t enough. Gardenia prepares your child to not just excel academically, but to navigate life with confidence and compassion — qualities employers and society value more than ever.
