Our Early childhood learning program is based on a process oriented curriculum that fosters each child's individual development. We emphasise the important role the BLISS curriculum plays through the development of the big picture, creativity and celebratory learning. The entire learning philosophy is founded on the principle that early childhood development must focus on the Bodily Kinaesthetic, Linguistic, Intuitive, Social Emotional, & Spiritual (BLISS) curriculum to ensure all-round development of the children.

The spontaneous learning is based on:

Recognising the need for children to practice skills and consolidate their learning by providing opportunities for repetitive experiences and extension of their ideas

Designing and establishing enriched activities that stimulate the imagination, promote creativity and enhance aesthetic development and appreciation of nature

Providing opportunities for discovery, learning through self-selected activities, and encouraging the development of the child's abilities to observe, perceive, explore, investigate, imagine and solve problems

Valuing the arts as symbol systems through which children discover and express meaning and make sense of themselves and the world around

Valuing play as a medium for all aspects of development and learning

Acknowledging and supporting children's individual learning styles

These books are specially designed to provide the children the right way of learning. This time tested and proven experiential learning methodology provides your child with a fun-filled opportunity to assimilate vast amounts of knowledge in a shorter time span.
