Foundation Years (pre Kg to Kg 2)
The Early Years are a crucial time in a child’s development and it is important that they are provided with a nurturing and stimulating environment. Children’s training in the early years goes a long way towards preparing them for academic and life tasks they are required to master later. We expose our Kindergarteners to rich experiences in learning that prepare them well for years of schooling that lie ahead.
Our Kindergarten Programme focuses on creating a secure, stimulating, and nurturing learning environment, in which our students can develop through structured play activities, practical art and craft, games, interaction, and imaginative play.
Intellectual growth is also encouraged through sharing stories and discussion, writing, number games, observation, and scientific experiences. Throughout the Kindergarten stage, we keep our parents closely involved and assessment is conducted throughout the year.
