Early Child development within the first 5 years of life is critical. These are the child’s most formative years when they their minds are like an absorbent sponge, therefore we believe setting a conducive and enabling environment for them to learn, explore, discover and develop their physical and cognitive skills are critically important from the very start at infancy stage.
We are cognizant that no two children develop on the exact same timeline and their development milestone may vary slightly. Our programmes seek to take this into account and allow sufficient flexibility to ensure they can learn and develop at their own pace with proper guidance and support from our trained teachers.
Nido
(3-18 months)
Our infant programme for those from 3 – 18 months is focused on the “Nido” environment. The “Nido” environment means a prepared environment to stimulate young infants in five core key areas which are: Movement, eating, sleeping, physical care and the exposure to the environment outside. We focus on these 5 core-areas to develop the infants sensory motor skills, perceptual and physical abilities.
Toddler
(1.5-3.5 years old)
At this age, toddlers by nature are very inquisitive and are still at the stage of exploring, understanding their own emotions and their desire to want to see, touch and feel everything they see.
Therefore, our activities for these 1.5 years – 3.5 years toddlers are designed to aid the child’s needs through teaching them self-care, strengthening their fine and gross motor skills, language development and social courtesy to promote independence. Through his or her chosen activity, the toddler’s concentration and self-confidence grows.
Casa
(3-6 years old)
This is an environment designed for children to mingle from different age groups and to learn from one another and hence encouraging social skills.
Our environment is to encourage each child to move about and explore, feel and learn to use things appropriately within the environment and relate and mix with other children. Our environment also provides freedom for the child to work independently based on their own initiatives and comfort level with gentle guidance from the teachers.
