Nursery 1 (N1) and Nursery 2 (N2) are early childhood programs where children learn through play under the guidance of professionally trained educators. Designed for children aged 2 to 3 years old, these programs serve as a transition from nursery to kindergarten.
Unlike traditional playgroups or daycare programs, N1 and N2 place greater emphasis on structured learning and development rather than purely play-based activities. The curriculum focuses on building fundamental skills, introducing basic subjects, and enhancing social awareness to support children’s overall growth.
Areas of Learning
We provide a dynamic and engaging learning experience focusing on key areas such as Language and Literacy Development, Phonics, Early mathematics, Show and Tell, Character Education, and Health and Physical Education.
Our daily programs are thoughtfully designed to foster social, physical, and intellectual growth while ensuring a fun and enjoyable environment. Through interactive activities like singing, storytelling, music, and movement, we nurture each child’s confidence, creativity, and ability to connect with others.
To keep learning exciting and stimulating, we continually introduce new activities and sessions. The joy and enthusiasm of our children are especially evident when they meet our special guests—an experience they always look forward to!
What is More?
We offer Chinese as a second language starting at the nursery level, giving children an early introduction to the rich culture and language.
Through age-appropriate lessons and interactive activities, we help them develop foundational language skills in a fun and engaging way.
Our approach fosters an appreciation for Mandarin, promoting not only linguistic growth but also cross-cultural understanding from a young age. This early exposure lays the groundwork for further language development, opening doors to greater global awareness and communication skills as they grow.
