Program 01

Junior Kindergarten

Our Junior Kindergarten program covers early literacy, early numeracy, weather, time, learning through play and other structured modules, and introduces children to classroom learning as the first stage of academic development.

  • Creative expression. Children explore and express thoughts and feelings through visual arts, music, drama and movement.
  • Social responsibility. We build foundations for children to make individual decisions as responsible members of society.
  • Physical well-being. Abundant physical activity supports proper physical growth and good health every day.
  • Early literacy. A phonics-based approach builds the blocks for young children to become eager readers.

Program 02

Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten program focuses on English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, health and life skills, and the fine arts, creating a bridge to the expectations of elementary school.

  • Communication. Children construct their own understanding of how oral and written language is formed.
  • Mathematics. Pictures and objects turn natural curiosity about patterns into an early grasp of numbers.
  • Responsibility. Children learn the rules and routines that lead to success in the school years ahead.
  • Self-esteem. A strong sense of identity and belonging lays the ground for active, caring citizens.
