Daycare
Our Daycare ensures your child feels at home, with all the love, comfort and safety. They will have the opportunity to explore their senses through engaging activities. They will also develop important gross motor skills by participating in hand-eye coordination games. Additionally, they will begin to build social skills by interacting with other toddlers. This safe and stimulating environment provides a vital starting point for their overall development.


Toddler
The daily topics are designed to build basic skills. The topics in Toddler are focused on basic concepts such as colour, shape, animals, and family, etc.
This allows children to bring their own experiences to school and build them. It also ensures that they begin learning the essential English vocabulary, as it is a vital part of their schooling. These topics are brought to life through engaging methods like singing, painting, role-playing, and teacher-led activities.
Pre Kindergarten
Children will have opportunities for independent exploration and learning through teacher-guided activities. Building on their Toddler year experiences, Pre-K will foster a deeper understanding of the world around them. Teachers will continue to build their students' confidence and independence by utilizing a learning strategy that leverages their love of play. This allows children to explore different roles, solve problems, and develop strong friendships. The children are introduced to phonics, forming letters, identifying numbers and counting. They are encouraged to start raising their own questions, and explore ways to work things out, in preparation for Kindergarten.


Kindergarten
Kindergarten focuses on developing confident learning in individual and group settings. We emphasize social skills, problem solving and idea expression. In literacy, children learn phonics by recognizing sounds in words and blending them together. They also begin reading by enjoying stories and identifying familiar words and simple sentences. Writing skills are introduced through letter formation, practicing their own name, and attempting to write simple sentences. Students also develop a love for reading aimed at molding them into lifelong readers. In mathematics, children learn to count objects, understand basic addition and subtraction, and grasp concepts like size, weight, and capacity. They also explore patterns by identifying and creating simple sequences, and the world around us, including weather, seasons, and environmental awareness.
