Playgroup: for aged 19 months to 3.5 years.

What are the benefits of letting my kid/s join the Preschool Prep program?
Enrolling your kids at this program can give them a myriad of benefits. As early as they start, they get to learn and grasp sooner. A few benefits of this program are enumerated below:
- It fosters a love for learning in your child, at an early age.
- An academic advantage as it prepares your kids for formal schooling, boosting pre-math and literacy skills.
- It helps develop their social skills as they interact with peers from different backgrounds and with adults (teachers) as well.
- It enhances their cognitive and emotional skills as they learn self-control, how to share, follow instructions and more.
- Their sense of competence and confidence is heightened, as they learn how to take of themselves (eg. washing their hands, feeding themselves) as well as helping others.
- Gross motor and fine motor skills are also greatly improved, as they are areas which lack focus and priority when kids are staying at home.
