Children at work
Practical life is the base: transferring, pouring, scooping, buttoning, sorting and classifying. It supports the body, the mind, feelings and social life, and builds order, independence and responsibility.

The room is prepared for this age. Children begin with simple, concrete materials that build concentration, coordination, independence and good working habits. Harder work arrives as they grow, including into the Senior year.

Inside the programme
Sensorial
Sensorial materials support mathematics, geometry, geography, botany, art and music. Children learn to tell size, weight, length, shape and smell apart, and to classify and compare.
Mathematics
Children explore numbers 1 to 10, quantities and symbols, then build toward the decimal system, numbers to 100, odd and even, and the four operations, including work with larger figures as they are ready.
Language
The Individual Reading System (IRS) gives a head start in English and a love of reading. Materials include sandpaper letters, a movable alphabet, phonics, sight words, early writing, and listening, poetry and speech.
Chinese
Chinese is learned through play. Vocabulary, simple sentences, basic writing strokes and the habits of Mandarin are reinforced with songs, rhymes, speech, drama, games and art.
Character
Love comes first. As children grow, kindness, honesty, respect, responsibility, generosity and more are added, so they can live with good character before primary school.
EQuipped for Life
Children learn the words and steps for social life: greeting someone, thank you, please, excuse me, kindness and serving others. It helps them feel at ease with the people around them.
Music and art
Children listen across styles, dance with rhythm, sing with care, and try different art techniques. Role play, speech and drama also use English, Malay and Chinese.
Physical education
The aim is stronger cores and muscles, coordination and stamina, speed, balance and endurance, better hand-eye coordination, and social skills such as teamwork and taking turns.
