About My Little Gems My Little Gems is a Buddhist inspired preschool that seeks to impart positive human values such as compassion, loving kindness, mindfulness and meditation to young children. At My Little Gems we believe that every child is a gem: precious and ready to shine. Through holistic development of their Character, Concentration and Competencies, we can bring out the Gems in them and transform them into highly motivated, confident and independent learners. Our educational philosophy is based on experiential learning intended to build strong character and competencies, similar to the concept of self-actualization in Buddhism At the same time, we take education a step further, by honing children’s concentration skills using child-appropriate Buddhist meditation techniques so that they can focus and excel in learning and life.
