Pre-primary

The Approach

The early years of a child’s life are the most important – a time of rapid development physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally.

Pre-primary education is concerned with continuing the balanced overall development of the individual child through learning experiences in both the school and community. During these learning experiences the child should observe positive relationships between the home and school; parent and teacher. It is through the combined efforts of all these adults that children will be given the maximum opportunities to develop and learn.

We believe every stage in a child’s educational life is equally important. That is why our Pre-Primary has a purpose-created curriculum that provides developmentally appropriate enrichment for your child at each stage. We offer a strong creative, physical, emotional, and moral base for our children, worthy of respect and recognition for their abilities, ideas, and interests.

Students’ social development is supported by providing meaningful play opportunities. Students are encouraged to explore and engage with the world around them through the introduction of stimulating and thought-provoking subjects and concepts. A variety of hands-on activities are offered to enhance critical thinking skills. Additionally, student progress is closely monitored and recorded, with tailored improvement plans created as needed.

Academics

Young children need the interest, support, and encouragement of both parents and teachers in order to develop self-respect and the confidence to learn. These attitudes, coupled with the skills that will be acquired in the four years of Pre-primary will help to build the foundation for success throughout school life.

The implicit curriculum of character education, the teaching of moral principles, insistence on order and firm discipline, and steady encouragement of solid work habits are an integral part of our daily teaching. Here, curiosity is aroused, interest kindled, and concentration developed. Particular care is given to the reading habit and to this end all children have access to libraries from their earliest years.

We understand that children are individuals and they bring differences of ability and background to our school. For all children, the curriculum remains the same, but extra support is provided in the classroom to those who need it.
In the Early Years, we provide feedback to parents through individualized student reports and parent-teacher meetings.

Development

The Foundation Stage focuses on whole-child development, where proper attention is given to the social development, skills, and knowledge children need to interact in a complex and changing world.

Foundations

Children are introduced to foundations in reading and writing (of subjects like Science, Mathematics, and ICT – Information and Communication Technology) through a system of practical applications and a stimulating learning environment.
