Children develop early literacy skills through pre-reading and pre-writing experiences, letter and sound recognition, vocabulary development, storytelling and shared reading experiences.
Early numeracy concepts are introduced through counting, number recognition, simple addition and subtraction, patterning and problem-solving activities using hands-on materials.
Children are supported to develop self-regulation, empathy and respectful relationships. They learn to share, take turns, resolve conflicts and work cooperatively with peers.
Children engage in inquiry-based learning through hands-on exploration, simple experiments and investigations related to nature, plants, animals, seasons and the world around them.
Children explore creativity through art, music, movement and imaginative play, allowing children to express ideas, emotions and creativity in a variety of ways.
Gross and fine motor skills are developed through outdoor play, sport days, movement challenges and fine motor activities such as drawing, cutting and manipulating tools.
