Playgroup Program Overview
Your child's playgroup years are the most exciting yet crucial ones. The kids leave the comforts of their parents for the first time and begin interacting with their surroundings. In the Playgroup, we make sure a child learns to love school, makes new friends, comprehends the relationships between students and teachers, and—above all—knows that the world is bigger than their home. Playgroup is a time when learning occurs through play activities and themes rather than a formal learning process. During this age, we put a lot of effort into enhancing gross muscle development using the Montessori method.
Kids can embark on an exciting journey of exploration and discovery with our playgroup program. To encourage your child's imagination, creativity, and curiosity the program has been thoughtfully designed and researched. A variety of engaging and motivating activities, with an emphasis on creativity, are included in the playgroup curriculum to encourage early brain development.
