Kindergarten 3 to 5 years
the 3 Yr & 4 Yr kindergarten program at BELC
Our Kindergarten program is based on a philosophy of respect for children as unique and autonomous individuals that have diverse ways to learn and express themselves. We have unique programs for both 3 and 4 year old children run by Qualified Kindergarten Teacher.
PREPARING CHILDREN FOR SCHOOL BY FOSTERING THEIR IDENTITY AND SELF-ESTEEM
The main goal of our kindergarten program is to support children in getting ready to go to school and develop the basic skills as social individuals.
Our program starts by focusing on children’s identity and self esteem including focus on multicultural backgrounds and communities. In addition the program supports the development of children’s confidence and interest in early literacy and numeracy
THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAY-BASED LEARNING
Playing is part of being a child. Through play, children learn about themselves and build understandings of their world. Our approach fosters creativity, persistence, reflexivity, cooperation, curiosity, commitment, thinking and wonder amongst children.
