Programmes & Curriculum

Theme: "Discovering My World"

At this stage, the focus is almost entirely on social-emotional development and sensory exploration.

• Sensory Play: Using sand, water, and messy play to develop fine motor skills and tactile awareness.
• Language Immersion: Storytelling with puppets, nursery rhymes, and vocabulary building through object identification.
• Social Skills: Learning the basics of parallel play (playing near others) and transitioning to cooperative play (sharing).
• Physical Milestones: Focus on gross motor skills like jumping, balancing, and throwing.

Theme: "The Joy of Learning"

This year introduces structured routine while maintaining a heavy emphasis on play.

• Pre-Literacy: Introduction to Phonics (Level 1)—recognizing letter sounds through songs and actions.
• Pre-Numeracy: Concept of shapes, sizes, colors, and counting up to 10 using physical manipulatives (blocks/beads).
• Creative Expression: Daily art sessions involving finger painting, clay molding, and scribble-to-script activities.
• Independence: Self-help skills such as tidying up toys, hand washing, and opening lunchboxes.

Theme: "The Curious Explorer"

Here, we transition from "learning to play" to "playing to learn." The curriculum becomes more academic but remains hands-on.

• Literacy: Phonics (Level 2)—blending sounds to read two and three-letter words. Introduction to tracing and writing letters.
• Mathematics: Number recognition (1–50), the concept of more or less, and basic addition through storytelling.
• Environmental Science (EVS): Weekly themes such as "The Life Cycle of a Butterfly" or "Our Community Helpers."
• Logic & Reasoning: Simple puzzles, sorting by multiple attributes, and basic coding logic through floor games.
