The early development of early cognitive skills in children is critical. The school’s specialized staff provides an appropriate balance between developing motor skills, phonics and basic writing. The focus is on learning through enjoyment and the school often undertakes excursions to learning centers so as to allow children to correlate what is acquired in the classroom with the outside world. Consequently, the focus on constant learning establishes a base for the unraveling of a fully-fledged curriculum in Grade 1
