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.
