Our preschool program enjoys a 70% success rate of students integrating into a regular school placement by the age of 6.
Curriculum
Apart from exposure to regular academic curricula, each child has their own Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), which is based on their psychological and developmental assessment. The areas covered by a normal IEP will include:
- Observational Learning and Social Learning Skills
- Language and Comunication Skills
- Learning How to Learn Skills
- Social-Emotional Skills
- Organization Skills
- Emotional Regulation and Stress Management Skills
- Cognitive and Abstract Reasoning Skills
- Gross Motor and Fine Motor Skills
- Play Skills
- Self-Help Skills
- Services for Schools and Professionals
Setting and Format
A classroom setup similar to most regular preschool classrooms to include various distractions and routines facilitate generalization and future integration. A school day is structured so that part of the day is allotted to large group learning whilst another part focuses on smaller groups (e.g. 1:1 or 1:2).
As we tailor our curriculum and programs to meet each student’s needs, we can accommodate special supplementary programs outside our main service area. Please discuss with our consultants so that we can provide a program that best benefits your child.
What do our parents say?
– Dimitry parents – Mr.Evangelos and Ms.Sonja
“After 9 months in Little Learners, Dimi’s social interest in other peers has improved tremendously. He pays more attention to his classmates and he has also learnt how to interact and play with them. He always comes home with a smile on his face. He has also developed interest in drawing and cutting. He would draw what he has learnt in class and shown them to us. We are very happy to see his progress in Little Learners.”
