Programs

6weeks old-5years Old

We provide children at this age with nurturing environment fostering a sense of security for toddlers with their first school experience. We guide them through understanding the world around them through verbal communication, sensory activities, story telling and music exploration.

Basic introduction to colors, shapes and beginning numbers are taught through learning games, stories, dancing and singing. Our program includes art exploration introducing a variety of mediums such as pasting, collage, and finger painting. We provide manipulative activities to develop eye-hand coordination, small motor skills and problem-solving skills through play dough, block building, hook–together toys and classifying objects. Developing an awareness of other children and people in their environment are a part of the toddler’s day.
