Turtle Program
Preschoolers (3-4 years)
Like turtles who carry their wisdom and move with purpose, our preschoolers are building the strong foundation of knowledge and skills they'll carry throughout their educational journey.
Building Strong Foundations Through Play
Three-year-olds require engaging, play-based learning experiences to develop key academic and social skills. At our preschool, we address this need by providing early literacy activities, storytelling sessions, and number recognition exercises, which lay the foundation for strong communication and problem-solving abilities.
Our group activities promote teamwork, friendship-building, and cooperation, while interactive lessons introduce letters, numbers, and critical thinking in a fun and engaging manner. This approach ensures children develop confidence while preparing for more advanced learning.
