It utilizes inquiry, play, and objective-based activities to foster confidence, independence, and social-emotional development.

For children aged 3 to 6, the 'Preschool' programme (half-day) and 'All Day' programme (full-day) incorporate literacy, numeracy, and social development, while the 'After School' programme provides afternoon care for children attending other schools. All programmes emphasize learning in English through songs, dance, science, and play.
