Fostering Early Skills and Independence
Playgroup is a smooth transition program for toddlers, allowing them to develop independence while still separated from their parents. Through play-based opportunities, kids explore, investigate, and develop a range of skills. The program focuses on skill-building and independence, with relevant learning experiences and special events to enhance learning. Co-curricular activities and a 10:1 student-teacher ratio also contribute to the child’s development. The program lasts 2 hours.
