Kindergarten

Curriculum Overview

An exciting phase of education for all involved, KG begins at the age of three and continues for three years shaping the children’s overall approach to education. All children are curious discoverers and tremendously different. Our Early Years program is designed to plunge into areas of exploration, cooperation, communication, and physical movement. The learning process is enriched with fun and carefully selected activities targeting cognitive, social and emotional areas of child’s development. 

An inspiring and happy start for a child is vital for a successful lifelong educational journey. Each student is unique in a way. This diversity is approached through a well-planned, differentiated and skills-based lessons.   A wide range of teaching techniques and integrating indoor and outdoor activities is implemented, as children learn best through play.
