Our Curriculum

At an early age of 3-4, children are often in the process of constructing their own ideas and framework of the world around them.

Our programmes for this age group mainly revolve around teaching fundamental topics such as "colours" and "shapes" through immersive stories, scaffolded discussions, and intriguing sensory and exploratory learning.

This non-intimidating and fun-filled approach encourages children to be curious and tactile learners as they explore and make sense of the world around them.

Foundational Topics Covered:

Colours & Shapes
Seasons & Weather
Emotions & Expression
Rhythms & Sounds
Body Movements
Days of the Week
