Preschool
Cultivating Confidence and Learning Readiness in a Stimulating English Immersion Environment
In Starling English School's Preschool program, we nurture your 3-6 year old child's confidence and love for learning in a stimulating and immersive English environment. We believe in educating the "whole child," fostering not just academic skills but also social and emotional development.
Our classrooms are vibrant spaces where teachers bring the real world to life through engaging activities, encouraging children to learn through discovery and play. From hands-on projects and science experiments to imaginative play and storytelling sessions, your child will be actively engaged and empowered to express themselves. We believe every child has a voice, and our curriculum fosters independence and critical thinking skills as children learn to collaborate and work together. Our preschool curriculum is thoughtfully designed to provide a rigorous and comprehensive program that prepares children for the transition to primary school.
The curriculum includes dedicated time for key areas of learning, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience:
Phonics Instruction: Children learn letters and letter sounds, building the foundational skills necessary for reading and spelling.
Reading Instruction: Daily read-aloud sessions help children expand their vocabulary, develop listening skills, and begin reading independently.
Math: Young learners explore numbers, basic addition and subtraction, counting, patterns, and Geometry concepts such as shapes and symmetry.
Calendar Time: Children gain an understanding of the days of the week, months of the year, and seasons, fostering a sense of time and routine.
Science and Social Studies: Engaging lessons introduce basic principles of Economics, Earth Science, and hands-on experimental play to stimulate curiosity and critical thinking.
Special attention is given to each child's developmental stage, with a focus on fine motor skills to support the early stages of writing development. Our program ensures that every child receives the nurturing and guidance they need to thrive academically and socially.
As your child prepares for primary school, we gently introduce them to more structured activities that build essential skills. Learning to sit still, listen attentively, and work independently on tasks are all valuable tools we introduce in a supportive and encouraging way. This carefully balanced approach ensures a smooth transition to primary education while still allowing room for exploration and creative expression.
