Our Preschool program provides a safe, socially enriching, educational environment for young learners. We devise programs with a child’s mental, physical and emotional well-being in mind, and seek to stimulate their natural curiosity. That’s why our programs consider the emotional and psychological developmental needs of children as they develop and grow through our academic programming. Elements of our programming include emotional reflection, self-guided play, problem-solving, and structured guidance to help cultivate independent learning. Through group and individual work, children are exposed to mathematics, science, social skills, drama, music and visual arts. Focusing on the integration of physical activity, healthy emotional growth, communication and social skills within key academic pillars (including STEM, language, and literacy) is key to the development of our programs. Our Preschool program aims to prepare young learners for their future education by building confidence. The program incorporates core educational concepts, promoting strong social skills and using immersive experiences to help shape and prepare young minds for their school bound years ahead.
What are the core elements of our Preschool Program?
Our core Preschool concepts include experiential learning, fostering the growth of independence, and self-regulation. We incorporate known Montessori activities, and continue introducing key academic fundamentals such as math and literacy. We also promote the development of social skills through positive interactions, and respectful forms or verbal and non-verbal communication.
