Play Group
Between 1yr to 6 yrs. of age, small children are curious and generally love to explore the world around them. They can assimilate information rapidly and express interest and wonder in each new discovery. A toddler is constantly learning how to do new things.
- In our school the play group curriculum makes the children independent through ‘hands on’ learning. They are encouraged to explore their immediate environment and also get to know themselves better. They have a free hand ,different learning stations in the secure class room environment. Group play provides opportunities for developing social skills and building confidence in children.
