Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is carefully crafted to engage young minds in the core areas of Science, Mathematics, Arts, as well as Language and Literacy:
- Language and Literacy: We boost vocabulary, basic reading skills, and communication through songs, games, and engaging story times. Our dedicated library area encourages children to explore books and share stories, enhancing their early literacy skills.
- Science: Our natural world is fascinating, especially to young explorers. Our children enjoy daily nature walks, gardening, and hands-on activities that make learning about the environment, animals, and plants both fun and educational.
- Mathematics: From basic counting to understanding the value of money, our activities are designed to develop critical thinking and numerical skills in a playful and engaging way.
