Curriculum
Bright Beginners has a rich and creative environment where children have the time and space to play and learn. We aim to provide a curriculum that develops each child’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth. It is also designed to promote creativity, self-expression, uniqueness and belonging. The activities are taught through direct and group learning to meet the goals of promoting your child’s development.
“Learning by Doing” is the philosophy behind our curriculum. The children are naturally curious about the world around them, hence we make it possible for them to work and learn at their own pace. We encourage them to explore, experiment, and become enthusiastic learners to sustain our goal of lifelong learning. Their love for learning builds good habits and positive attitude in which we believe will make a difference throughout their lives.
“Play builds the kind of free-and-easy, try-it-out, do-it-yourself character that our future needs…” — James Hymes Jr.
