What Children Learn in Our Nursery

Play-Based Learning with Purpose — The Canadian Way

Early Literacy & Phonics

Our nursery children begin structured phonics in English, learning letter sounds, blending, and early reading skills. In Mandarin, they are introduced to pinyin, tones, and basic characters through songs, stories, and interactive activities.

The Canadian approach emphasises child-centered, inquiry-based learning — children explore at their own pace while educators scaffold and extend their understanding naturally.

Social Skills & Emotional Development

At 3-4 years old, children are rapidly developing social awareness. Our nursery programme focuses on sharing, turn-taking, empathy, conflict resolution, and self-regulation — the foundational skills that make children confident learners.

  • Early phonics (English) and pinyin (Mandarin)
  • Basic numeracy and pattern recognition
  • Inquiry-based science exploration
  • Creative arts, music, and movement
  • Daily outdoor physical activities
