It's play based, holistic programs fosters a love for learning.Our focus lies in gross and fine motor skills development, perceptual, cognitive, language and numeracy development.Readiness activities pave the way towards many activities that follow through drawing, painting, dance and movement ,singing, discussions and role play.
Indoors : each classroom is fully air conditioned and equipped to encourage self-expression, communication, logical thinking and problem solving under the guidance of experienced, qualified and dedicated educators. The teacher assistants care for and engage with the students to create a stimulating, safe, secure and nurturing environment as well. Threading, puzzles, cutting and pasting, colouring, drawing, Duplo dressing and construction all help in the development of fine motor skills. Fine motor skills aid in the growth of intelligence and develop continuously through the stages of human development.
Outdoors: we are equipped with a jungle gym for those challenging outdoor experiences. Water play, sand play; sand pits, catching and throwing of balls and bean bags and hopscotch all add to enhancing large motor skills development.

This is our pilot year as we introduce our little ones to the world of creative skills and technology. Physical Education classes as well as a visit to the Foundation Phase Reading Room form part of the weekly program.
