Learning Efficiency Program
At ELF Preschool, children benefit not only from play-based learning but also from specialised programs designed by NeuroTree to optimise learning performance. By integrating these programs into our curriculum, we help children:
- Develop stronger focus and attention skills.
- Build visual-motor coordination that supports reading and writing.
- Gain healthy learning habits for long-term success.
This collaboration ensures that your child receives both the warmth of a nurturing preschool and the science-backed support to thrive in learning.
Enrichment Programs
These enrichment classes are included in the school curriculum under our Full Day program. These programs vary for different age groups and are conducted at different schedules across a week.
Early childhood is a critical period for language and cognitive development. To foster a deep appreciation for Chinese language, culture, and holistic growth in young learners, we combined music, movement, singing, play, and dance. This program is designed to engage children in a multi-sensory Chinese learning experience while promoting physical, social, and emotional development.
The Cambridge Reading Adventures series is endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education and offers engaging illustrations and photos that expand young readers’ worldviews. It provides digital classroom resources at different stages, enhancing teaching. The series aligns with Cambridge Primary, the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, and the International Primary Curriculum where relevant.
Kindergarten students will engage in termly projects covering a diverse range of activities. These projects encompass subjects like financial literacy, bilingual show and tell (in both English and Chinese), artistic expression, organizing a carnival, and hands-on experiences with plant cultivation. For instance, students will be introduced to various coins and notes, which they will use in role-playing activities within a mini pretend-store to practise making transactions.
Our preschoolers will be fully immersed in the captivating world of the Chinese language and arts through enjoyable sessions featuring Chinese stories, speech, and drama activities. This engaging approach aims to not only enhance their proficiency in Mandarin but also provide them with insights into Chinese culture.
Fine motor skills encompass the intricate coordination of the small muscles in the body, enabling a child to perform tasks like writing and dressing themselves, such as fastening buttons and zippers. Engaging in creative activities like collage, coloring, threading beads, and craftwork not only fosters a child’s artistic expression but also serves as an enjoyable means of enhancing and refining their fine motor skills.
