Nursery Curriculum
Our nursery curriculum concentrates on the stimulation and extension of children's capabilities enabling them to;
- Learn through carefully structured play and a wide range of learning activities
- Explore, discover and gain understanding through planned worthwhile interaction and discussion and
Learn how to work, play and interact with others outside their home environment.
Our Pre-Nursery Explorers (18months- 2 years) program enables children to socially interact with children and adults other than their family members. They learn about sharing and getting along while having fun playing.
The children are exposed to a variety of instructional play materials and art media. This prepares them for the nursery school setting.
In the Pre-nursery Discoverers group (2-3yrs), emphasis is on sensorial development as children are given wonderful opportunities for all-round development in preparation for Nursery School. Class time allows for personal choice and "Circle time" promotes structure and routine.
The Nursery (3-5yrs) curriculum revolves around the knowledge that pre-school children are most responsive to "hands on" activities appropriate for each child's developmental level. Classroom spaces and learning activities are designed with this in mind.
Our program continues to emphasize the importance of social skills. While personal choice and circle time are still part of classroom ethics, pupils' activities are more structured. The core curriculum is enriched with additional subjects such as the introduction to ICT as appropriate to the child's level.
Emphasis is also placed on pre-literacy and pre-numeracy activities, leading to simple reading and writing by the end of the Nursery 2 year.
