Galilee International School follows the IB PYP (Primary Years Program) framework. Children explore their environment and learn about their world through play and relationships with peers, teachers, family and community members. Early learning in the PYP is a holistic learning experience that integrates socio-emotional, physical and cognitive development. Our playgroup programme takes place in dynamic environments that promote play, discovery and exploration.

​

Goals:

• Engage children in interactive lessons in a bilingual learning environment

• Expression of creativity through physical activities, sensory play, singing, dancing and art projects

• Develop a sense of caring and kindness

• Explore sensory play to enhance their fine motor skills

• Develop a routine for children to follow that can apply to their Pre-nursery level.

 

Our Playgroup Programme is divided into two days:

• On Mondays or Tuesdays, our students will participate in creative development, concept learning and Mandarin classes. Our students will participate in sensory/ messy play, music and movement activities.

• On Wednesday or Thursday, we will have theme-based learning.
