As Parents and Teachers we have learnt that, Children are born ready to Learn.
Our experience with them shows us that they are curious,active and competent learners.They have an innate sense of curiosity.Children wonder,question,explore and seek to understand their world.They learn by doing,participation,expolration and experimentation involving real objects and experiences around them.As Children grow,their thinking and reasoning evolves,building on existing knowledge and experience.
​
​
As Professional Educators we know that Children learn with support from teachers using an integrated curriculum and are engaged as active learners through play and quality interactions.
​
Thus in raising our Children embrace aspects of proven principles across the world such the principles of the Early Years foundation stage framework of the British national curriculum, iTEACH principles of Singapore's kindergarten framework and Developmental philosophy from America's National Association for the Education of Young Children.
