  • Developing the physical and mental powers of a child

  • Developing and Training of senses

  • Acquitting the child with nature and social environment

Can't promise that. Especially when you're already preparing for your profession. Your focus would only circulate to this and that. But as long as we have you to remind us from time to time, then surely this is win-win
