Our Playgroup Curriculum

Children 18 months to 6 years old are highly imaginative and live in a world of imagination and make-believe. A typical day in our Playgroup program is filled with lots of stories, dramatic play, songs and rhymes, sensory play, arts & craft and gymnastics exploration.

Little Lions' Playgroup curriculum focuses on learning through play where we use a thematic approach in our curriculum to spark a child’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm. We also highlight sensory play activities which provide stimulation for learning, enabling greater information retention in young learners. The curriculum is also linked to an age-appropriate theme that changes every term.

Language and Literacy

One of the key highlights of our Playgroup program are language and literacy activities. By building on a child’s pre-learning skills such as – auditory (listening), visual (seeing), fine motor and vocal, we are able to prepare our young learners for their future academic endeavors.

Our language and literacy activities involve hands-on kinesthetic learning with the use of colourful and multi-sensorial manipulatives. Instructions are broken down, modelled and visually supported to cater to our non-verbal young learners.

Arts and Craft

Our curriculum introduces a myriad of art media, textures and materials, helping our young learners develop fine motor skills and sensory abilities through craft activities. Focusing on the creative process rather than the outcome, we provide a safe space for children to explore their artistic nature.

Music and Movement

Designed to get our kids up and moving, our programme introduces a variety of educational songs that inspire movement. Specially curated by our curriculum specialists, music and movement activities help our young learners effectively process their emotions and sharpen their social skills.

Dramatic Play

Through dramatic play, we teach our children how to perform different roles in various situations. This tests their creativity, reaction, inferencing and problem-solving skills. At our Playgroup programme, we promote the development of social skills as our little learners to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.

Story Telling

Storytelling plays a critical part in our young learners’ overall development. This helps our children to instil virtues in life, boost their listening skills, fosters imagination, enhances communication skills and improves social skills. This will always be a part of our day-to-day routine which the children really love.

Gymnastics and Fitness

Bridging the Gap features a sensory integrated gym designed to provide proprioceptive and vestibular sensory input for our young learners. Fully equipped with swings, trampolines, and therapy balls  your child will develop physical awareness and cognitive skills in a fun and engaging way.

Sensory Play & Manipulative Exploration

A key highlight of our Playgroup program, manipulative exploration and sensory play promotes the development of fine motor skills, manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Through the use of puzzles, crayons, blocks, playdough and musical toys, our young learners learn how to discover, examine and interact with different items.
