Nursery 1 and Nursery 2

Classes for Nursery 1and Nursery 2 are conducted entirely in English. Our teachers extend our young children's learning in language and numeracy skills as well as social skills through hands-on sensorial methods and creative play. Activities such as music and movement, art and craft, drama, physical development, sand and water play was some features of the Nursery program. Other prominent features of the program activities include reciting short rhymes, the recognition of simple Chinese Characters, numberings and teaching of simple strokes in writing and sing-along sessions.

Kindergarten 1 and 2

English


To develop our kindergartner to have a well-rounded love of language, from listening and speaking to reading and writing, we are using a phonics-based English program which covers basic language and literacy skills that lead eventually to reading and writing. It combines stories using big books, songs, rhymes, language activities, reading, spelling and creative writing.

Chinese



Similarly, in Chinese, we are using stories, songs, rhymes, language activities, reading, phonics and creative writing to learn basic strokes and characters. We continue to emphasize on oral and listening skills which we have been developing since the pre-nursery and nursery level but more focus is given to reading and writing skills to prepare the children for Primary 1.

Math


Children are given a foundation in early math skills such as counting, grouping, shapes, graphing and patterning through everyday experiences that are relevant to their lives. The strengthening of these mathematics concepts are reinforced through concrete manipulative through games and activities. The teachers encourage the children to develop Mathematical thinking by facilitating questions to help them to observe, reason and problem solve.

Music and Movement


While elements of music and movement are integrated into the teaching of English, Chinese and Mathematics there is a separate time set aside for the exploration of music and movement in a creative and imaginative manner with a music specialist thrice a week. During this music class, they will sing, play with instruments, and have structured or spontaneous activities in nature that permit a higher degree of expression and individuality.

Arts and Crafts


We encouraged aesthetic appreciation and creativity and integrate art activities into our other activities in our program. Drawing, handicraft, painting, collages are different mediums in which our children can express themselves. Aside from that, there is also a separate time set aside for an art specialist to conduct art calligraphy lessons.

Computer Aided Education


We would like to give the children a good head start in their learning journey. Computer Aided Education teaches the children to master computer skills by educating them with the proper and logical applications of computer technology. The children build up their confidence, independence, enthusiasm and creative thinking strategies that are needed for meeting new challenges in a fun-filled learning environment. Our computer program incorporates themes and traditional academic subjects that the children enjoy. Each curricular unit features activities that are infused with interesting themes and academic content in core subject areas such as Language, Mathematics and Science etc.
