Developmental Needs
Toddlers are beginning to explore their surroundings, developing motor skills, and building early communication skills. They require a safe and nurturing environment to practice walking, basic communication, and sensory exploration.
Our Toddler Program focuses on providing a secure, sensory-rich environment with soft play equipment, tactile toys, and guided exploration. We emphasize close caregiver interactions to help children feel secure while encouraging curiosity, motor skills, and early language development through music, stories, and guided activities.
Developmental Needs
At this age, children begin social interactions, vocabulary development, and imaginative play. They need gentle structure to encourage cooperative play, sensory experiences, and foundational language skills.
The Playgroup Program provides a balanced mix of structured and free play activities to foster social, physical, and language development. Activities like circle time, basic pretend play, and sensory art encourage peer interaction and vocabulary building, while outdoor play allows for movement and motor skill enhancement. Teachers support each child’s social growth by modeling sharing, cooperation, and self-expression.
Developmental Needs
Children at this stage are ready for more structured learning, including early literacy, math concepts, and developing independence. They need a stimulating environment to practice problem-solving, creativity, and group participation.
Our Nursery Program emphasizes pre-literacy and math through hands-on activities, story sessions, and interactive games. Thematic learning introduces children to the world around them, while arts and crafts foster creativity. The program encourages confidence in group settings through structured play and collaborative projects, laying the foundation for cooperative learning and critical thinking.
Developmental Needs
In Lower Kindergarten, children require foundational academic skills, enhanced social interactions, and growing independence. They’re developing attention spans, learning responsibility, and strengthening cognitive abilities.
The Lower Kindergarten Program provides a robust introduction to reading, writing, and math through play-based activities and guided learning. Our curriculum includes science and nature exploration to inspire curiosity, along with activities to improve focus, problem-solving, and collaboration. We emphasize independence, with self-help skills and responsibilities that empower children to prepare for more structured learning environments.
Developmental Needs
Upper Kindergarten students are preparing for primary school, needing readiness in reading, numeracy, social skills, and following routines. They benefit from more structured, engaging learning that reinforces cognitive, social, and emotional readiness for school.
In Upper Kindergarten, we provide a curriculum that integrates literacy, math, and critical thinking exercises with group discussions and project-based learning. Teachers use interactive activities, structured academic tasks, and story-based learning to strengthen reading, math, and writing skills. Social skills, emotional resilience, and curiosity are nurtured through teamwork, hands-on projects, and interactive learning experiences, ensuring a smooth transition to elementary school.
Each program at our preschool is thoughtfully designed to meet children’s unique developmental needs, nurturing a love of learning through age-appropriate activities and personalized care.
