It inculcates in children the qualities of curiosity, exploration and discovery in a fun-filled, safe and happy learning environment.

Singing, rhyming and reciting are some strategies employed in the Language Arts and the Phonics Programme. Activity areas or learning centres are set up in the classroom, with resources that actively engage children to learn about particular themes or topics. They provide opportunities to create, draw, manipulate, discover, explore, learn new skills, and to make mistakes.
