தமிழ் Playgroup (17 months - 3.5 years)
தமிழ் Playgroup is a weekday drop-off programme for 17 months - 3.5 year old children. Children will attend 2 sessions per week that are each 2.5 hours long.
Children between 0 and 3 years old are like sponges and can pick up multiple languages effortlessly, without anyone deliberately teaching them. They learn by living, observing, listening, and feeling. This is what Maria Montessori defined as an absorbent mind.
Our தமிழ் Playgroup programme offers children a nurturing environment where they are immersed in our language and culture so that building a solid foundation in the தமிழ் language becomes effortless - as simple as ட, ப, ம.
Additionally, children gain independence and develop fine and gross motor skills, visual discrimination and social interaction through a range of activities including:
- Storytime
- Early Phonics
- Sensory Play
- Art & Craft
- Gross & Fine Motor Play
- Music & Movement
