In nursery years, academic knowledge is introduced in a developmentally appropriate and play-based manner. While the focus isn't solely on traditional academic subjects like reading, writing, and mathematics, nursery education lays the foundation for future learning by nurturing various skills and concepts:
Introducing letters, sounds, and phonemic awareness through storytelling, rhymes, and exposure to books.
Building vocabulary, understanding basic sentence structures, and encouraging communication through conversations and language-rich activities.
Observing and exploring the natural world, learning about plants, animals, and the environment through sensory experiences and simple experiments.
Introducing concepts like cause and effect, observation, and experimentation through hands-on activities.
Engaging in physical activities that promote coordination, balance, and large muscle development through games, running, and climbing.
Developing dexterity and hand-eye coordination through activities like threading, puzzles, and manipulating small objects.
