CURRICULUM ABACUS
Welcome to Our British-Based Preschool Program
At our preschool, we offer a high-quality British program based on the British National Curriculum, delivered entirely in English. Our approach prioritizes the individual needs of each child, ensuring a happy and successful learning experience for all.
We follow the seven areas of learning and development as outlined in the British Curriculum. However, in our classrooms, these areas seamlessly merge into an integrated program. We place a strong emphasis on learning through play, fostering an environment that encourages exploration, independence, and social interaction. Our program is carefully designed to promote both child-initiated and teacher-facilitated activities. This approach allows children to take the lead in their learning journey while also benefiting from guided instruction and support from our educators. By integrating these seven areas of learning into our curriculum and promoting a play-based approach, we provide a holistic educational experience that nurtures every aspect of a child's development!
