It also helps children work on five key skills, without which Circle Time doesn’t work: thinking, listening, looking, speaking and concentrating. This month we focused on their recitation of full sentence on MYSELF with correct pronunciation.

What’s happening in the class room Activities in class In addition to age-appropriate activities in Kindergarten, which prepare a child for success in formal school; various other activities are conducted in the areas of language, numbers, general knowledge, music, art in a planned manner throughout the program. Through these activities, children learn the alphabet and letter sounds, numbers and simple math and master early writing skills.

What’s happening in the class room Free Play or Fun Time Free play is an essential part of a child's development.
