DISCIPLINE
Our teachers are assertive but ready to
discipline your child in a loving manner. Children learn to take turns,
share, wait to be called, keep silence, etc.
LUNCH TIME
At lunch time the children share a time
which is very important for their growth, development and understanding.
They learn to give thanks to God for the food provided.
REST TIME
Some will take a nap, others just rest
quietly to be able to recuperate after a working session.
OUTDOOR PLAY TIME
With the busy life in the city children
are often deprived of the outdoor world, but there remains a need for
every child to feel the sun and wind in his face and engage in self-paced
play. At play time the child relaxes and his whole self is involved. Play
is an active way of learning. Sliding, climbing, running is so good for
them!
WE LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT YEAR!
