Environment
Children’s appreciation for nature develops at a young age, so we decide to begin environmental education for kids as early as possible.
​
The Environmental science activities enables the child to understand the environment around, as well as the people fulfilling the different needs of the community. The child is exposed to the basic ideas of geography, botany, zoology and fundamental science experiments to understand some natural phenomena.
Math Class - Numbers and Shapes
Math is important and it's important to help young children develop their mathematical thinking. A child's math knowledge at the start of kindergarten predicts later academic achievement better than early reading or attention skills.
Math is part of children's everyday lives, supports development of the brain, and creates problem solving perspective. We introduce children variety of numbers and shapes games and practices so they can enjoy it and get deeper interest in the field.
Science
Science encourages and teaches children how to discover and wonder about everything in the world around them. Scientific thinking and the desire to explore and investigate can be used to your advantage in the classroom.
Science helps children develop key life skills, including an ability to communicate, remain organized and focused, and even form their own opinions based on observation. Science also helps children develop their senses and overall awareness.
We offer a variety of morning classes depending on our daily schedule
