We achieve this by placing children into the following age categories: babies aged three to twelve months, tweenies aged thirteen months to two yearstoddlers aged two years two to three years, and lastly preschool aged three to five years. Due to our rooms being equipped especially for these ages, we are able to provide that home-from-home feel.

Our Pre-Schoolers had a wonderful time engaging in a fun and educational activity—picking up pom-poms and placing them on different numbers!

This hands-on activity helped develop their fine motor skills through the act of picking up the pom-poms, social skills by practising taking turns, and early math skills by identifying and matching numbers. 👍

It's always great to see learning and play come together so beautifully!
