Preschool School Life
Science for the little ones
Science does not mean difficult chemical formulas or laws. Children are born explorers. They seek to learn about the world around them with wonder and curiosity.
The Laurus preschool curriculum is based on the child’s natural desire to question, and we guide them to age appropriate scientific thinking - through observation, plenty of hands-on experiences across many subjects, and a lot of fun!
A Nurturing Environment
Preschool makes up the formative years of social, emotional and intellectual development. Children make significant strides in self-expression through language, socialisation through play and physical control and coordination.
Our educators pay attention to needs of children at the cusp of these developmental milestones, instilling a sense of security that they are being understood, heard and respected: these positive experiences are the beginnings of developing a strong inner compass and stable relationships.
Set up for Success
The physical and emotional wellbeing of children are our priority and our classrooms are designed with this in mind.
Each class has one native English speaking homeroom teacher, up to three nursery staff as well as full-time instructors for Music, Eurhythmic, STEM, Physical Education, and Karate. Our dedicated curriculum coordinators, nursery advisors and headquarter staff collaborate with all classrooms to ensure quality and consistency.
