Our Rooms

Infants and Babies 

This room is designed for infants aged 3 months to around 2 years. Given the high level of care and nurturing required at this stage, we maintain a teacher-to-child ratio of at least 1 teacher for every 4 babies. With infants having different sleep schedules and rotating rest periods

Toddlers 

This room welcomes children transitioning from the infants' room, as well as new arrivals to the center, typically around age 2. Our thoughtful transition process considers each child's readiness and ensures the timing is optimal for their development.

Preschool 

Our preschool rooms take children from around age 3 until they leave to attend primary school. Again, with our transition process, we consider each child's readiness and the timing that will benefit them best if they are moving from our toddler room.

INFANTS Room

Our infants room providing ample space for our youngest learners to move around and explore. The environment is set up to create a safe learning space, filled with natural light and all the comforts that our littlest learners need.

Preschool Room

While our curriculum across the center promotes school readiness, this room offers a variety of experiences to prepare young children for the transition to local primary schools. The learning resources in this room encourage engagement in literacy-rich activities, mathematical concepts, inquiry-based challenges, and holistic growth.

PRESCHOOL ACTIVITIES

Socialisation: Preschool provides children with opportunities to interact with peers and develop social skills such as sharing, cooperation, and empathy. Through group activities, games, and free play, children learn how to communicate effectively and navigate social relationships.


Cognitive Development: Preschool activities stimulate children's cognitive development by encouraging exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Children engage in hands-on learning experiences that promote language development, early literacy, numeracy, and scientific inquiry.


Emotional Development: Preschool supports children's emotional development by fostering a sense of security, confidence, and self-esteem. Teachers provide a nurturing and supportive environment where children feel valued, respected, and understood. Children learn how to regulate their emotions, express themselves appropriately, and develop healthy relationships with others.


Physical Development: Preschool programs include activities that promote physical development and coordination, such as outdoor play, gross motor activities, and fine motor skills practice. These activities help children build strength, balance, and agility while developing their motor skills.

Creativity and Imagination: Preschool encourages children to express their creativity and imagination through art, music, dramatic play, and other creative activities. Children have opportunities to explore different materials, experiment with colours and textures, and engage in imaginative play scenarios.
