Program Highlights:


Our Early Learning Programs provide a comprehensive curriculum designed to foster growth and development in various areas. Here are some key features of our programs


  1. Planting Seeds of Knowledge: Our programs provide indoor and outdoor areas where children can dig deep into play and learning, cultivating a strong foundation for their academic journey.
  1. Branching Out into Learning Adventures: From religion and literacy to numeracy, art, music, science, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, dramatic play, sensory exploration, construction, listening, and technology, our programs cover a broad range of subjects and activities.
  1. Open-ended Experiences and Materials: We encourage creativity and critical thinking by providing open-ended experiences and materials that allow children to explore and express their ideas freely.
  1. Child-centred Projects: Our programs are designed to be responsive to children's interests. We create projects and activities based on their curiosity and passions, fostering a love for learning from an early age.
  1. Extended Pursuit of Interests: We understand the importance of deepening learning experiences. Therefore, our programs offer opportunities for children to pursue their interests for longer periods, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
