The early years are everything. At Discovery Academy, our Pre-School program nurtures your child\u2019s natural curiosity through play, storytelling, songs, and hands-on exploration. Language skills, social confidence, imagination, and physical development all grow together in a warm, nurturing environment. With a maximum 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio, your child receives the individual attention that makes these foundational years count.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Foundation<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The foundation developed in Kindergarten will support learning in Lower and High School and life beyond. This groundwork is laid unconsciously as your child plays, developing language and social skills, imagination and a healthy, active body. The rich language of stories, songs and verses will enhance your child\u2019s language development, a precursor to reading skills. Storytelling, songs and verses also help children develop the capacity to create their own visual images. Future reading comprehension and creative thinking will draw strongly on this capacity. Development of imagination is enhanced by the nature of play; natural materials such as shells, pine-cones and driftwood become phones, bells and ships in the children\u2019s minds, offering an unlimited canvas for play. Development of imagination is a cornerstone of future openness to new ideas and creative problem solving, a hallmark of Discovery Academy education.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Role of Teachers<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Hands-on work by the teachers lends itself to imitation, the young child\u2019s first cognitive exploration of the world.
Children model both the activities and the way in which they are done.<\/p>

Your child will see the attention paid to each individual, respectful social interactions, thoughtful speech and healthy movement.
Through these, children develop important values such as respect for self and others, kindness, industriousness and a sense of wonder.
Through imitation children learn to become caring, fulfilled and responsible human beings.<\/p>
