Children explore their environment through sensory activities, multicultural songs, and collaborative projects. Staff guide curiosity-driven investigations, such as exploring 'Where does mud come from?' through hands-on experiments.
Kindergarten
The Kindergarten program (ages 4-6) focuses on creativity, independence, and early academic skills. Children engage in engineering projects, writing practice, and daily drawing activities. Our responsive environment encourages rule-setting, friendship-building, and math skill development through measuring and structural design projects.
