Playgroup Program

Where curiosity begins and little hearts feel at home.

Our Playgroup class provides a safe, loving and stimulating environment designed especially for our youngest learners. At this stage, children learn best through play, exploration, movement and social interaction. We focus on building confidence, early communication, social skills and independence, all while having fun and engaging in meaningful activities.

We offer guided play‑based learning, language and early communication development, music, dance, art and sensory activities, outdoor play and gross motor skill development, social interaction and sharing skills, as well as age‑appropriate routines such as snack time, toileting and rest. Our teachers offer warm care, patience and encouragement to help each child discover, imagine and explore the world around them.

At Playgroup, it's not just about learning, it's about growing happy, confident, and curious little learners.

Pre-Primary Programs

Building Strong Foundations for Lifelong Learning

Our PP1 and PP2 program is designed to guide children through an important stage of early learning, combining structured academics with interactive, practical experiences. At this level, learners begin to build stronger literacy and numeracy foundations, develop early problem solving skills and grow more confident in expressing their thoughts and ideas. Through activity based learning, our children participate in storytelling, number work, art, music, indoor and outdoor play, all tailored to support their developmental needs.

We encourage independence, responsibility and positive social habits. Children learn how to work together, communicate clearly, take care of their environment and manage simple tasks with confidence. Technology is introduced in age appropriate ways to support creativity and enhance learning. Our teachers provide close guidance, warmth and individualized support, ensuring that every learner feels valued and ready for the transition to Grade One.

Excellence in Competency Based Education (CBE)

In Grade 1 to 3, learners transition into more structured academic work while still enjoying an engaging, child friendly environment. Our curriculum, following the Competency Based Education, focuses on strengthening reading, writing and numeracy skills through practical activities, guided exploration and continuous assessment. Children begin to apply higher thinking skills, communicate ideas clearly and approach tasks with independence and confidence.

We integrate technology in age appropriate ways to improve creativity, digital awareness and interactive learning. Learners participate in creative arts, music, movement and outdoor activities that support physical development and emotional well being. Our teachers emphasize responsibility, respect, teamwork and positive behavior, preparing children for upper primary with the right values and habits. Each learner receives personalized attention that supports their strengths and builds areas that need growth.
