The classes are organized into seven age groups.
PrePre (1-year-olds): “Healthy Mind and Body”
As the children experience being away from their guardians for the first time, our staff takes over caregiving duties. The primary focus is on building trust. We provide an environment where they can feel secure and ensure their safety every day.
Pre (2-year-olds): “Awareness of Rules”
At this age, it’s essential to foster an environment that encourages children to be conscious of their peers in group settings and develop self-reliance in handling daily tasks. A setting that facilitates the acquisition of fundamental life habits is provided.
K1 to K3 (3 to 5-year-olds): “Expression of Intent”
For all experiences, we provide an activity-rich environment that encourages children to express themselves and build confidence through spontaneous participation and exploration.
