Preschool (Infant/Nursery)
Welcome to our World!
Making the right Pre-school choice, guarantees good childcare and excellent childhood foundation that lasts a lifetime!
At Taadel, we create a community that is deliberately inclusive and respectful of all cultures, religions, abilities, and family configurations. Equal opportunity is given to every child between 3months and 5years to transition from one milestone of development to another.
Ours is an ambience of love and fun where practical skills of Early Childhood Education are enhanced. In addition, it embraces other areas of child development which encompass social, emotional, spiritual, moral and physical development. This is otherwise referred to as a holistic education. A world where children explore under the careful guidance of thoughtful Practitioners to build healthy relationships as resilient learners who leave the Preschool with self-confidence, love for learning and other skills to enjoy a happy productive Primary school life.
Taadel Education is our offer:
Taadel Education recognises the essential role Play-Way method of teaching plays in promoting learning while helping children develop ideas about the world. It helps them build the basic/fundamental skills necessary for critical thinking, problem solving, and ability to make choices. They learn the most through this method when they are in contact with practitioners like ours who are well trained to give education to young learners.
Our programmes and activities are usually child initiated using their interests to guide learning since children learn the most from educational activities that support their own interests and ideas. We provide age appropriate learning materials that should support their curiosity.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum chronicled ‘Taadel Curriculum’ benchmarks best practices in Early Childhood Education with a mix of the best of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Montessori and Traditional Curriculum blending them into 21st Century relevance. Our curriculum is planned with the principle of multiple intelligences in mind. Teaching and learning experience is rooted in experimentation and logic.
Our Ethos includes:
-
- Uniqueness of Each Child: we adapt learning experiences and activities to individual child’s uniqueness and interest. It is not a ‘one size fits all’ affair.
- Enabling Environment: we operate in an exceptionally child-friendly environment; our classrooms and play areas are cosy, hygienic, air-conditioned and well equipped.
- Positive Relationship: with passion and commitment of our well-trained Practitioners and Caregivers to the development of young children, we shape and drive our programmes using best practices in the classrooms, and learning areas in collaboration with parents to bring our world to families because we believe all children deserve positive relationship models.
- Learning and Development: as Play-Way curriculum exponentially increases the learning capacity of young children, our children receive the gift of childhood, learning through carefully designed and guided activities, which fully prepares them to go to primary school as well-rounded individuals with good strategies and skills.
