Our Programmes
Early Years Programme
(18 to 36 months)
At Dreamkids Kindergarten, we believe in the power of play as the cornerstone of early childhood education. Our play-based approach fosters every child’s love of learning, creativity, and holistic development.
Through play, children explore the world around them, solve problems, and build foundational skills for future academic success.
Our 4-hour drop-off early years programme indulges our little ones with a wide variety of experiences through sensory play to stimulate their senses positively, laying the crucial foundation for success in the future.
Our expert team of professional and happy early childhood educators will guide parents and children through a purposeful learning journey where children learn through sensory play, music and movement (Kindermusik ABC & Me), gym, storytelling, cookery and creative expressions.
We adopt a play-based inquiry approach for our young ones, but what type of play are we discussing? Play that engages children—play that they will focus on and stay with even when problems arise. This kind of play helps children develop their approaches to learning—in other words, the ways they respond to learning situations. Curiosity about the world, initiative and problem-solving, and focused attention and persistence are just a few approaches to learning that children develop through play.
We aim to nurture their curiosity and enhance their creative and communication skills through play.
