OUR APPROACH TO LEARNING

CHILDCARE FOR BABIES & TODDLERS (AGE 0-3) 

In our nursery, trained professionals provide individualised care in a warm, family-like atmosphere. We foster a love of discovery as children explore their world, supporting milestones like speech, movement, and motor skills through sensory play, music, and activities such as cooking, puzzles, and role play. Socializing, building friendships, and experiencing the seasons with walks and picnics are also key to our approach.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION (AGE 3-6)

Our Early Learning Centre fosters curiosity, independence, and a love of learning in children, supporting their growth at their own pace in a safe, dynamic environment. Following the PYP curriculum, children explore four play-based units of inquiry each year, which include like “Who We Are” and “How We Express Ourselves,” while integrating language, maths, and science. Guided by the IB Learner Profile, they develop into principled, open-minded, and caring individuals through reflection, respectful communication, and collaborative learning.
