For our 2 and 3 year old children
Sprout Program
What environment the little ones are in. What do the little ones do all day.
Designed for the Enthusiastic Learners
The Sprout Program is designed for children from 2 years old through 3 years old. Children at this age develop rapidly. We adopt HighScope curriculum. Guided by the milestone tracker, we also accommodate the children’s individual need and growth paths. Age-appropriate hands-on activities and stimulating environments are created to satisfy the beginning learners’ curiosity. We pay emphasis on outdoor exploration and artistic expression, from which the little ones explore outside and within.
We also value and respect parents as their children’s first teachers. We partner with parents in learning everything we can about their infants and toddlers to better care for their needs and plan for their development. We document, track and communicate closely to the parents about the children’s development and progress. As a result, our programs create a strong three-way bond between child, parent, and caregiver.
Our Classroom
Circle Time Zone
The children listen to stories, sing songs, dance, learn words and talk with the teachers.
Free Play Zone
The children develop their social skills in the free play zone. It is the perfect place for pretend play and make friends!
Active Zone
The little ones stretch, walk, crawl and jump. They learn to balance and coordinate through the gross-motor activities.
Project Zone
The little ones exercise their creativity in various forms of arts, building blocks and other manipulatives. They also experience hands-on sensory activities.
Outdoor
The energetic toddlers love the outdoor time! We may do circle time in our playground. The children may plant, dig in dirt, ride tricycles and explore what their wiggly body can do!
Curriculum
We adopt HighScope Curriculum in our school. Ongoing child and program assessment is an underlying component of the HighScope Curriculum. Objective observations of children allow teachers to intentionally plan to build on individual and group interests and scaffold development by supporting what children know while gently extending their learning. Below are the Key Developmental Indicators. The curriculum focuses on these six content areas:
Approaches to Learning
Children demonstrate initiative. They make plans, engage in the interested activities, solve problems encountered in play, utilize resources and reflect on their experiences.
Social and Emotional Development
Children have positive self-identity and senses of competence. They recognize and regulate their emotions, show empathy, participate in the community of the classroom, build relationships with other children and adults. Children also develop moral direction.
Physical Development and Health
Children develop gross-motor and fine-motor skills. They are aware of their bodies and hot to navigate them in space. They carry out personal care routines and engage in healthy practices.
Communication, Language and Literacy
Children express themselves using a variety of words and phrases. They identify alphabetic names and the sounds. Children read for pleasure and information. They also write for many different purposes. Children use English and their home languages.
