Headmistress's Message
It is with great pride and joy that I share a few words about our journey. Leeds International Preschool-Malabe officially opened its doors on January 5th, 2022, and since then, we have grown steadily, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for our little learners.


Both our preschool and daycare programs are functioning smoothly, thanks to the dedication of our staff and the continued support of our parents. We remain committed to offering quality early childhood education that fosters curiosity, creativity, and confidence in every child.
Our aim is not only to impart knowledge but to build character, instill values, and empower our students to become confident, responsible global citizens.

As Headmistress, I am proud of the progress we have made and excited about the journey ahead. Together with the support of our parents, staff, and community. We will continue to create an enriching educational experience for every child.


Thank you for being a part of our school family.
We look forward to many more milestones together as we continue to grow and shape bright futures.

Despite being one of the newest additions to the LEEDS family, the school quickly gained recognition within the community for its commitment to quality early education. The school’s warm, nurturing environment and play-based approach resonated with local families, leading to rapid growth in enrollment within its first year.
