The expectations parents have when it comes to preschools today can no longer be compared to the past, for as time changes, education needs change and evolve too. Today’s kids need to take in a whole lot more to be tomorrow’s trailblazers.

These are quite tall orders, we agree, and this is exactly why a solid foundation in their education is crucial for children today; it is the key to their future success. At Kitakids, the aim is to provide this premium early education and care, as well as to inspire breakthroughs in the way young children are nurtured.

The Kitakids experience

Managed and run by the owners themselves, the quality of service when it comes to the education and care of children are not easy to match. The environment is also specifically designed for little ones between the ages of two months to six years thrive in – a safe haven to play, learn and have fun as they build new skills and talents. Far from your typical whiteboard and textbook way of learning, the Kitakids experience has kids immersed in carefully created play-based education, where they engage in hands-on learning and age-appropriate experimenting, as well as healthy social interactions, taking early education to a whole new level.

Children are multi-dimensional in their learning capabilities, and at Kitakids, various pedagogies are adapted into the curriculum, delivered using a thematic approach to teaching. We’re talking about the integration of teaching philosophies such as Reggio Emilia pedagogy, Multiple Intelligence Theory, Accelerated Learning and High Scope philosophies, all for the benefit of little ones in an environment that has been specifically designed for optimal learning.

What will little ones be learning?

Guided by the various pedagogies mentioned earlier, as well as Kitakid’s thematic approach, there are seven learning areas which children will be exposed to. Firstly, there’s ‘All About Me’, which helps little ones discover their own individuality as well as their connection with others, as they grow and develop into confident, tolerant students. Next there is ‘Language & Literacy’ which helps them build reading, writing and social skills for a more fulfilling life in school and beyond, ‘The World Around Me’ is another crucial are of focus which helps kids understand the importance of respecting their environment, and among many other lessons, learn how to take care of it, while ‘Numbers’ expose them to the important concepts of mathematics for a deeper math and numbers awareness. ‘Let’s Investigate’ offers children precious learning opportunities via close examinations and age-appropriate research, satisfying the natural curiosity in little ones, whereas ‘Art & Design’ helps to bring out the hidden artists in children as they spend time drawing, painting, sculpting, and even in story-telling. At Kitakids it’s also important that children get their much-needed exercise, and via ‘Let’s Move’, they will have lots of opportunities to do so as they develop better balance, gain spatial awareness, and strengthen their fine and gross motor skills.
