Nursery School & Kindergarten

Children learn to play and play to learn at this level. Classroom areas are designed to provide opportunities for reading, art, games, and music as students develop their cognitive and social abilities while having fun. Each classroom welcomes approximately 22 children led by both head and assistant teachers. Under their guidance, children tell stories, draw, paint, make music, and explore the world around them. When children enter kindergarten, they begin to engage in class discussions, ask questions, and learn to express their own ideas. They write and direct their own plays and start investigating the natural world through in-class projects and observation of classroom pets and plants.
