 Our Kindergarten curriculum incorporates the development of gross and fine motor skills while fostering intellectual and cognitive development in each child. The
Kindergarten provides an enriching environment for learning through play. Children develop their physical, social, emotional and creative aspects through this most natural activity.
Our curriculum is based on the U.K. 'Early Learning Goals' which helps children develop in the main areas of learning: language, mathematics, physical, social and personal development and the world around them.
We lay emphasis on Art, Music and Sports.
