Our Kindergarten curriculum is delivered through a child-centred Reggio Emilia-Inspired Approach, an innovative framework for early childhood education. Each child is valued as strong, capable and resilient, with an innate ability for endless wonder fuelled by a desire for knowledge. Young children possess deep curiosity and unlimited potential to thrive as they begin to explore their expanding world and understand their place within it. Our Kindergarten programme also focuses on learning through social inclusion and group work to achieve remarkable outcomes for those in early years education.
In our Kindergarten environment, each child is an equal participant. As they develop confidence through play-based learning, young children understand the value of their contribution and gain feedback from teachers by asking questions to refine their communication skills in a dynamic and multi-faceted process.
A well-known aspect of the Reggio Emilia-Inspired Approach is the 'One Hundred Languages of Children', the belief that young children show their understanding and express their thoughts and creativity in numerous ways. Kindergarten teachers are adept at fulfilling the needs of learners and aim to encourage practical, positive communication skills to equip young language users with healthy methods of expression.
In our Kindergarten, early years educators augment learners' natural curiosity by fostering an enabling environment known as the "Third Teacher". We provide stimulating provocations and ensure rigour in the learning process.
Highly-experienced Kindergarten faculty members act as mentors and guides to help young children develop emerging skills. Within a programme of fun, participatory lessons, they observe children with their friends, listen to stories, respond to questions, discover interests, and provide youngsters with opportunities to explore further.
To complement preschool learning, our captivating extracurricular programme offers a range of exciting, skills-based experiences. We offer clubs and afternoon activities within a casual social setting to help our youngest students acclimatise to the early learning environment. At the Pre-School stage, additional sessions enrich the syllabus, giving children the opportunity to develop new interests while strengthening their fine and gross motor skills.
