CURRICULUM AND LEARNING

Learning Overview and Focus

We are passionate about providing a creative, rich, authentic, and layered approach to learning for our little ones. Theme-related learning enables children to explore and understand their world and the world around them. Below is an overview of our Summer Quarter weekly theme discussions and learning focus, as well as an overview of the 2025 themes.

Robotics and STEAM Park

Each day brings new discoveries and accomplishments, reflecting the incredible growth and development that is taking place. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to both the children, parents, and our dedicated teachers for making this transition such a positive and memorable experience. Your collective efforts have contributed to a week filled with laughter, curiosity, and shared milestones. Here's to many more weeks of continued success and joy.

In our curriculum, Grade R learners have the opportunity to participate in Robotics lessons, Grade 00 learners engage in STEAM Park activities, and the younger children enjoy creative Lego soft brick building and creating.

Grade 00 children were captivated by the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) for their first lesson this week and Grade R children were fascinated with the Robotics Lab. They eagerly look forward to attending their weekly lessons. Below is an overview of why STEM education is vital for pre-schoolers.

Understanding STEM in Preschool

STEM in preschool education fosters a love for learning and curiosity in young children. It's a holistic approach that encourages hands-on exploration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. STEM activities for preschoolers emphasise play, discovery, and imagination.

The Importance of STEM Education for Preschoolers Building a Strong Foundation

Early exposure to STEM concepts lays a solid foundation for future learning. Preschoolers are naturally curious, and STEM activities harness that curiosity to help them build essential skills and develop a lifelong love for learning.

Developing Critical Thinking 

STEM activities promotes critical thinking skills. Children learn to observe, predict, and experiment, which are valuable skills for solving problems and making decisions.

Encouraging Creativity

STEM encourages creativity and innovation. Preschoolers can explore and invent, making connections between different subjects and expressing their ideas in unique ways.

Hands-On Learning

Preschoolers learn best through hands-on experiences. STEM activities often involve building, experimenting, and exploring, which align perfectly with the natural way young children learn.

Aftercare

Our aftercare program is designed to ensure children are well-cared for and engaged during the afternoon. We provide a nutritious snack and beverage to keep their tummies full and happy. The program is filled with engaging activities that keep the children busy and stimulated. On Wednesdays, we offer a short, age-appropriate screentime session in the auditorium, giving the children a delightful movie experience. Aftercare services close strictly at 17:00, ensuring a structured and timely end to the day.
