Pre-primary
The section caters for children aged 2 to 6 years. They are grouped in four levels
as below:
- 2 to 3 years Play group
- 3 to 4 years Baby class
- 4 to 5 years Middle class
- 5 to 6 years Top class
The curriculum is based on the developmental needs of the children. We emphasize that
development is a product of both heredity and environment. While heredity pre-determines the
genetic potential, the environment provides the various inputs needed for the child to
achieve the genetic potential.
While each child is unique, they do have some distinctive common characteristics that we
care givers should be aware of.
We designed developmental activities for the total growth in the
physical, cognitive, social,
emotional, moral and spiritual
aspect of the child. These are:
Physical needs include:
- Need for proper feeding and healthy environment.
- Need for exercise and play.
- Need for sleep and rest.
- Need for care and attention.
Emotional needs include:
- Need for love and security.
- Need for success and self-worth.
- Need for opportunities to express anger, fear, tenderness and happiness.
Social and Moral Needs include:
- Need to live with and relate with others.
- Need to belong to a group.
- Need to understand right and wrong.
- Need to become independent.
Spiritual Needs include:

- Need to understand God as a loving Father who cares for them and others.
Intellectual needs include:
