Written by Early Childhood Education academic experts, the balanced curriculum slowly adapts the 3 to 4-year-olds to the idea of learning through play-based with thematic approach while the 5 to 6-year-olds are more serious in their academic and education. As literacy and numeracy are important aspects in children’s academic achievement, this school focuses more on the speaking, reading, writing and counting. Throughout their schooling years at Kindie World, they are familiarized with the fun and engaging concept of Joyful Learning in subjects such as art, messy play, creative cooking, public speaking and presentation, and fitness. To increase their self-awareness and exposure to the real world, the children are also provided with events such as festival celebrations, field trips, holiday programmes and integrated performances with different age groups from theirs.
Integrated Education Hub
Attached together with Kindie World on the other side is the respected Integrated National Curriculum School (INCS) that places primary and secondary students in national syllabus. Umbrellaed under the same management and facilities, Cub Early Years preschoolers have the utmost advantage when it comes to social skills and real experiences of the outside world. In special occasions such as festival celebrations, concerts and performances, the two academies merge together thus enabling the preschoolers to properly socialize with different ages, cognitively maturing, and familiar with higher formal learning environment.
Cubs Early Years’ Joyful Learners
Cubs Early Years’ main priority is the children’s cognitive, emotional, physical, and social growth to be holistically stimulated. This school’s play and thematic approaches allowed the learners to wonder, discover and relate with their real-world surrounding. With positive exposures of different age groups and roles, the learners are capable of developing good social skills, self-awareness, respectful values and positive mindset towards others. Good character values and being successful in academic achievements are the dualistic elements that exemplify what a true good learner is all about.
Our curriculum allows children the freedom of expressions and learning which goes beyond just studying to excel academically. Our practical lesson delivery methodologies combined with our play and thematic approaches enable children to relate the lessons taught to their curiosity, experiences and day-to-day routine. Hence instilling greater knowledge, values and character which would prepare the child to face all life’s challenges ahead. Ms. Jenny Sim and Ms. SP Lee
