KINDERGARTEN (KG 1 & KG 2)
Our main objective for the Kindergarten years is to help our young students develop their cognitive and motor skills. During these formative years, the young learners are initiated to school life via friendly and stimulating atmosphere. We actively encourage the development of students’ curiosity and imagination by exposing them to an exciting and wonderful world of learning. Basic cognitive and motor skills are developed through a variety of creative, kinesthetic and problem solving activities.
