Younger Years (Age 3 - 5)

The development of a child from age two to six lays the foundations for future learning. We believe that it is important for children in these early years to develop a positive attitude towards learning that will enable them to become curious and communicative young learners. Parents can assure that your child will have the ideal educational start.
Our teachers are facilitators who provide opportunities for hands on learning, like exploring a variety of games and stories and songs, which strengthen their verbal communication.

We pay attention to the following five areas of learning goals.

1 PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

• Children are given appropriate periods of time for learning through sustained involvement in concentrated activity.
• They feel valued and secure and develop a sense of achievement.
• Play and talk are used as media of learning.
• They are encouraged to show care and respect for the needs and feelings of others.

2 COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE AND LITERACY

• Children recognise letters and sounds in various situations. They develop their phonic knowledge and learn these words and pictures, which convey meaning.
• They draw pictures, symbols, letters and words in their writing.
• Attention is given to the hold and grip of the pencil as the alphabet letters are formed.

3 PROBLEM SOLVING, REASONING, AND NUMERACY

• Number rhymes, songs and counting games form an important part of daily activities.
• Children compare, sort, match, order sequence, and count using everyday objects.
• Children understand and record numbers.
• Children use mathematical language and describe shapes, size and quantity.
• Children respond in a variety of ways to what they see, hear, smell, touch and feel.

4 KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD

• Children talk about their families and past and present events in their lives.
• They are encouraged to ask questions about why and how things work.
• Children develop skills to include cutting, joining, building and folding for a variety of purposes.

5 PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

• Children move confidently and imaginatively with increasing control and co- ordination.
• Indoor and outdoor areas are used together.
• They begin to handle appropriate tools and objects with safety and control.
• Children take part in the annual Sports Day.
