Cascades School

Cascades is a small Reggio Emilia inspired preschool in Mandaluyong, not a full K-12 international school. Children aged 16 months to about 6 years on a residential-style campus on Silangan Street in Barangka.

The school is built like a house with child-sized furniture and refurbished materials, following Reggio principles where the environment is treated as the third teacher. Programmes include whole day, half day, online and blended learning, with annual fees from roughly PHP 115,000 for online to PHP 250,000 for whole day with lunch and snacks. Children with special needs are welcomed.

Parent voice online is thin, but families who choose Cascades describe a warm, home-like setting and small group teaching that suits children who would not thrive in a large preschool environment. The school is not part of any international accreditation network and ends at lower primary, so families plan a transition school from age 6 or 7. Best fit for Mandaluyong families wanting a Reggio-inspired early years foundation before moving to a mainstream international or local primary.
