We are delighted to begin the 2014 school year with the opening of our new “Pre-Kindergarten Programme.” Children in our Pre-Kindergarten class will be involved in a variety of activities designed to engage our young learners in a more structured classroom environment. While still maintaining play based learning, the children will be encouraged to explore and investigate in small group instruction.
Pre-Kindergarten facilitates a learning environment that promotes the development of skills required for school readiness. The children will develop the necessary skills needed to successfully merge into a full day school programme.
More specifically, the Pre-Kindergarten will focus on many areas of development such as; cognitive, literacy, physical, social and emotional development. The Pre-Kindergarten programme will facilitate learning experiences within these developmental domains that are fun, safe and inviting.
It is our hope that our unique approach to learning will foster confidence, self-esteem and a positive attitude towards a lifetime of learning.
Here’s a glance at our learning objectives for the Pre-Kindergarten programme!
