Since opening its doors in January 2014, Books and Pens Tutorial and Learning Center has been a trusted partner in nurturing young minds in Better Living, Parañaque. What began as a small learning space for a handful of preschoolers has grown into a well-established educational center offering (1) Pre-Kinder education and Play and Learn Program for 3 and 4-year old children and (2) Tutoring Progr
ams to students from kindergarten and the early grades to high school and even college level. With a dedicated team of licensed teachers and expert tutors, the center quickly earned the trust of families in the community by providing personalized and results-driven learning experiences. Growth came with challenges, including an early relocation, but these only strengthened the center’s commitment to excellence. Today, Books and Pens stands out for its forward-thinking approach to education. Its preschool program has evolved into a dynamic, play-based learning experience inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, fostering not just academic readiness, but creativity, a lifelong love for learning, strong social-emotional skills, and the confidence to think independently. The center also takes pride in continuously enhancing its academic programs. Its Reading instruction in the preschool level and in its tutoring programs is grounded in the Science of Reading, utilizing the Orton-Gillingham approach; while its Math program combines the proven effectiveness of Singapore Math and Montessori principles—ensuring that students develop strong foundational skills and critical thinking abilities. Books and Pens continues to grow, innovate, and raise the bar in educational excellence. Guided by its core values of Excellence, Commitment, and Compassion, the center remains dedicated to empowering every learner to reach their fullest potential. For the Learning Center
