International Preschool Programs (Taught in English) - Ages 18 months to 6 years
• Imagine incorporates multi-age classrooms that encourage children to interact with peers from differing perspectives (younger friends can learn from older friends, while older friends learn how to teach younger friends).
• Our Toddler Class programs aim at developing basic fundamental skills that give your child a head start in life. A heavy focus is given to developing social skills (communication) and motor skills (using hands and body). Toddlers learn through themes that are interesting and exciting for the children, while giving them many opportunities to create, explore and learn while having fun.
• Our Preschool Class programs follow the 'Project Approach' to learning, in which children learn through a theme that they are interested in. During project work, children will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills that encompass the theory of multiple intelligence.
• All programs are conducted in English, however we do not discourage the use of other languages, rather we embrace it as all language is a form of communication.
The various class programs are as follows:
Toddler Class (18 months-3 years) - Available as 2, 3 or 5 days per week (days are pre-determined) - Full Day Program (8:00-18:00) - Short Day Program (9:30-14:30) - Morning Program (9:30-11:30)
