Children will learn Math and problem solving skills with concrete manipulatives as well as visual and verbal cues. Children understand the concept of Math through hands on learning such as multi-sensorial activities, before teaching them the abstract form. Through constant problem solving either on a personal project basis or during small group discussion, children become confident in their own ability.
3. Social/ Emotional
Children are empowered with the autonomy to make choices during the learning centers and active interactions between peers and teachers. Children will learn the strategies, such as turn taking and sharing, to solve problems encountered in collaborative play. They will also learn to express feelings in words or gestures. Children are encouraged to participate in group routines to encourage modeling of appropriate social behaviours in a required setting. Children will be introduced to the social norms and rules of different environmental settings example in the library, restaurant etc. All these skills will be taught prior to the actual setting or event, so as to equip them in advance with the necessary skills and also to promote confidence in the child. Our school nurtures the children in a warm and loving environment where children will form positive images of themselves and others in order to build strong blocks of human relationships. Self help skills will be taught to the children so that they are able to perform daily routines independently.
4. Gross Motor & Fine Motor
The children develop their gross motor skills (locomotor skills, non-locomotor skills) through games, outdoor activities and gym activities. There are water play, sand play, multi-sensory balls, slides, tricycles and many fun filled activities that the children can work on during the outdoor activities. There is also a mini nursery for children to grow their own fruits and vegetables. Children will enhance their fine motor skills and eye hand co-ordination through activities such as painting, threading, pegging etc. Our school encourages children to create models and artworks from different textured materials. These creative representations of the children’s works reflect the children’s present level of development.
