Leeds pre school provides a
foundation for learning both socially and academically. It’s an opportunity to learn to
share, follow instructions, and begin the foundation for learning that will
occur in the primary school
. Our pre-school is
designed to provide a secure, happy and an interesting experience for all
children.
The Play-Way method is followed in introducing colours,
letters and numbers. English,
Math and Sinhala are taught as subjects while the kids learn about the
environment through various activities. Circle-time is given high
priority in the Pre School section to effectively engage with all students and
to raise kids’
awareness of many topics
through activities such as storytelling, chart reading, show and tell, life
lessons, etc.
Themed days & weeks (Colour Day, Flower Week) are organized to introduce different concepts.
The kids practice good
manners, healthy eating habits, table manners and other social skills during
this stage.
All these activities
assist in developing their fine motor and life skills.
Our kids visit public places with the teachers
to get a better understanding of what they hear and learn in class.
Physical education is incorporated into weekly
timetable and is aimed at developing kids’ gross motor skills. This is also encouraged through events such as
the ‘Kiddies Day’. The kids also receive swimming lessons during
school hours.
Karate is introduced after
school hours for kindergarten kids.
Music, dancing, arts and crafts are other key
areas followed in the curriculum to stimulate their interest in art and
creativity.
By the end of their Pre School stay, our kids
are more independent in managing themselves, following instructions and are
comfortable in different social environments. They are also capable of basic reading and
writing skills and are capable of understanding and conversing in English.
