Story time
Since July 8, 2002

It started with two little ones — and a mama who cared.

DUYAN first opened its doors on July 8, 2002, to two children under two years old whose parents wanted more than what unqualified caregiving could offer. Word spread among other working parents facing the same worry, and what began as a child care center grew — year by year — into a full learning institution offering quality education from preschool through junior high school.
