Pre-Nursery and Playgroup

Preschool Years Curriculum


Nursery Two: 4 years old               
Kindergarten One: 5 years old
Kindergarten Two: 6 years old


The Preschool Years curriculum lays a foundation for every child to engage in life-long learning through the integration of learning activities in the areas of aesthetics and creative expression, environmental awareness, language and literacy, motor skills development, numeracy, and self-awareness.

To enable a smooth transition to primary school, we expand children's language and literacy skills to include reading, writing, and maths concepts. Instead of simply memorising and regurgitating information, children are facilitated to develop more complex mental processes (higher order thinking skills) and taught how to apply knowledge to demonstrate understanding. Children will develop into active thinkers and problem solvers through a series of inquiry experiences as they delve deeply into them, seek out the answers to their questions, experiment, and analyse their results, and then share their reflections and learning with the class and parents!
