Early Development (Parent & Tot)
Age group: 2.5 - 4

Transition to Independence:
This course serves as a gentle transition for children to participate in activities independently. Parents will accompany their child in class, where activities are animated by the teacher.

What we study:
This course is designed for the youngest students who are starting to explore the world and make discoveries. Children in this course will create simple models of buildings, animals, different types of transport and fairy-tale characters using brightly coloured Lego Duplo bricks.

A look into the class:
Lessons are story-based and feature interactive presentations in which the teacher will animate, and each class is a new exciting topic! An example of a class is the zoo, they will listen to a story about the zoo and discuss what animals can be found at the zoo, then alongside their teacher, build an animal like a monkey, crocodile or parrot. Their teacher will be there to show them each step and answer any questions while encouraging active discussion on the topic.

What we achieve:
Through instruction, building, and creative play, children practice fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, verbal communication, and social interaction in a structured but playful classroom setting. Children learn about colors, sizes, and shapes of objects in the world around them.
