Curriculum

At FRS Kindergarten, learning is a joyful adventure. Our dynamic, hands-on curriculum is carefully designed to spark awe and wonder in every child. Rooted in a child-led, experience-based approach, we follow the children’s interests to create meaningful learning experiences that nurture curiosity, creativity and confidence.

Every activity and environment is thoughtfully planned to suit each child’s unique age and stage of development whilst encouraging them to explore, experiment and discover at their own pace. By combining play, imagination and real-world experiences, we help children build the foundations for lifelong learning and a love of discovery.

    Learning Through Play

    Our hands-on, child-led approach follows each child’s interests and stage of development. Children explore, experiment, and create through open-ended play that encourages independence, problem-solving, and imagination.
