Babies (6 to 14 months) |
|
Our beautifully decorated baby room provides care for babies from the age of 6 months to 14 months (walking stage). The adult to child ratio in this section is very high at 1:3 to ensure that each one of the babies receives all the attention they need. This room will accommodate up to 9 babies, with every infant sleeping in their own crib. Babies need to feel secure in their environment, we therefore strive to follow the child’s feeding, diapering and sleeping routine as closely as possible. Our Baby Room is carefully designed to nurture your baby, while stimulating exploration and growth. This is achieved by organising the room into Activity Centres, which are filled with educational, age appropriate toys, games and materials.
The Toddler Rooms provide care for children aged 14 – 24 months. The adult to child ratio here is 1:5, and each room will accommodate up to 15 children. Your toddler is asserting his independence in new ways everyday, and so in the Toddler Room, each child will be encouraged to achieve greater independence by helping themselves to the toys, games and other learning materials conveniently placed in the classroom, while at the same time participating in daily group activities. The Toddler Room is designed around various Learning Centres, which will each engage a different aspect of your child’s development, and which will allow teachers to give individualised attention to the children by splitting them up between Learning Centres, and rotating them throughout the day according to the daily schedule. The Toddler Teachers will create daily plans to ensure that they expose your child to the full breadth of activities necessary to reach their various developmental milestones.
This section provides care for children between 2 and 3 years of age. The adult to child ratio is 1:7. These rooms will accommodate up to 21 children. Two’s are very active and interested in objects and people. Our curriculum, and classrooms are designed to support the independence your two-year-old exhibits, while providing the structure and guidance needed to encourage sharing and group play. In this age group, we cater to the growing developmental needs of the children by directing the child towards more meaningful and purposeful play. This in turn leads the child to achieve some of the early childhood learning goals as set out in the curriculum. This is achieved by furnishing the classrooms with various Learning Centres, including:
Each day, your child will engage in various hands-on activities; he’ll explore, inquire and discover solutions working by himself, with a friend or teacher or in small groups.
The Pre-School classroom provides care for children aged 3 to 4 years. The adult to child ratio is 1:8. Each Pre-School classroom will accommodate up to 24 children. This class provides an excellent educational programme, which will prepare your child for his/her formal schooling. This programme will include learning the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colours and songs in both English and Arabic. |
