Children's House

Ages 3 to Grade 1

A Seamless Transition into Primary Education

Children typically join the primary class between the ages of 2 ½ and 3 years old, based on their readiness. They spend 3 to 4 years in this environment, including the kindergarten year. During this time, the child develops key traits such as self-discipline, independence, and confidence. The final years focus on mastering core academic skills like reading, writing, and math, which are natural extensions of foundational development in independence and concentration.
