In addition, the program provides nurturing support during a gradual separation from home to school. The child begins to develop inner discipline in relation to his peers, adults and his environment. He also gains a sense of belonging to, and contributing to, a community which includes, and is greater than, his own loving family. Children have opportunities to learn pre-math and language skills such as sounds, counting, and sequencing. Along with preliminary academics, toddler children also practice daily life skills such as preparing their own snack, using the toilet, and navigating peer relationships outside of family members.

A well prepared physical, social and cognitive environment is the key to helping each child in the task of building himself/herself. 5 days a week 8:30am – 3:00pm The Full Day Primary program is available for 1st and 2nd year students in the Primary program.
