The early years of a child have a critical influence on later development and learning. Quality learning experiences have been found to make a difference to the future achievements of children. For children to be long-life learners, they have to be able to,

Understanding the Learning CurveNurturing environments, particularly from pre-natal to six years of age, are essential for healthy brain development of a child. Early experiences literally shape how the brain is built; a strong foundation increases the probability of positive outcomes.

Recent research on brain development states that the child learns best when they are allowed to learn in a stimulating and enriched environment in the presence of warm and nurturing adults. This interactive relationship with the adult and the environment enhances the brain development of the child.

Curriculum at SpringboardAt the heart of our pre-school curriculum is the child.

Based on iTeach, our curriculum aims to develop children to become life-long learners by helping them to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and dispositions through 6 learning areas in the context of broad themes.

These teaching principles have been in good practice in the early-years of children and have been drawn from them. They also ensure that a firm foundation is built for the next stage of learning. They are the core of Springboard’s Pre-School Curriculum.

As parents, you understand your child most intimately and therefore play an important part in providing a home environment that will support the learning and development of your child.

Your role in the holistic development of your child continues when he/she attends pre-school.

It is therefore helpful for you to know the principles which guide the learning experiences that are planned for your child by his pre-school and his teachers.

A – Ample Opportunities for InteractionChildren are given opportunities for extensive and meaningful interactions with materials, peers and teachers. Knowledge is constructed and relationships are built when children interact in a nurturing and positive environment.
