Young Children's Afternoon English
Programmes
for children 4 – 7 years old
“When I hear,
I forget . . .
When I see, I remember . . .
When I do, I understand!”
(Dr. Maria Montessori)
 ur Nursery,
Kindergarten and Preparatory English Programmes
have been developed to provide children with the  necessary
skills to prepare them for English Language learning at higher levels.
Children enjoy an integrated and experiential approach to learning
in a friendly and stimulating learning environment. Firm in the
belief that children learn best when they are having fun, our Early
Years programmes have been carefully designed to combine very focused
learning activities with specific learning outcomes with a fun,
experiential approach that allows the children to make their own
discoveries and learn at their own pace. All classrooms are spacious
and designed specifically for the learning needs of younger children.
The teachers who work with our Nursery, Kindergarten
and Preparatory children are carefully selected not only for their
qualifications and experience but also for their warm and caring
approach. Through hands–on learning experiences the children
are immersed in a language-rich environment in which they are encouraged
to explore and discover, questions and develop, experiment and create.

| In our Nursery,
Kindergarten and Preparatory Programmes
your child will:
- Approach language and literacy skills through thematic, integrated
learning activities which will give him a firm foundation in
 the
key areas of speaking, listening, vocabulary, reading and writing.
- Follow a comprehensive, structured phonics program beginning
with single letter sounds, such as “Apple, apple a..a..a”,
to reading short phonetic words, longer phonetic words, and onto
non-phonetic reading, to lay a solid reading base for future development.
We utilize the ‘Montessori’ approach to reading development
complemented with innovative reading aides imported Singapore
and Australia.
- Learn songs and rhymes to develop good pronunciation, intonation
and expression.
- Practice correct letter formation and develop fine motor control.
- Have opportunities for the creative exploration of concepts
and themes through a variety of guided activities including artistic
expression.
- Acquire a rich and expressive vocabulary.
- Be introduced to grammar principles practiced in a logical manner
using the Montessori boxes to guide correct structure of English
sentences.
- Improve interpersonal and social skills and develop a curious,
questioning learning attitude.
Our approach to teaching in the Early Learning years is that an
active, stimulating, nurturing learning environment is the key to
creating happy, motivated children who are eager to learn ... and
understand.
....where children learn to
read, speak and write English well ... ! |
