3-Year-Old Kinder Room
Bluebell Room (3-4 year old)
Our Bluebell Room is our designated room for our 3-year-old Kindergarten program and is designed to foster curiosity, creativity and confidence in a warm and welcoming environment.
Our Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teachers (Kindergarten Teacher) and educators encourage children to use play as a powerful tool to build their language skills and learn about numbers and patterns. By engaging in playful activities, children are also given opportunities to learn how to get along with others, share, listen, and manage their emotions.
In our 3-year-old Kinder program, children are provided with the chance to explore new ideas and concepts, laying a strong foundation for their upcoming kindergarten year. The kinder rooms are designed to allow children to actively choose what they want to engage with, fostering a sense of independence. As they dress themselves, make friends, and participate in various activities, they begin to develop crucial life skills.
