Maranatha Pre-Primary follows the approach that children learn best through play. Research has proven for centuries that play affords children in-depth learning, where their growth and development is stimulated and challenged on multiple levels. Through play children learn to put ideas into action, negotiate and interact with others, develop understanding about themselves and their own capabilities, experiment and construct knowledge, and form positive self-identities.
Maranatha Pre-Primary boasts interactive and stimulating indoor and outdoor learning environments that are intentionally planned to extend and support each child’s learning journey. With dedicated professional Pre-Primary staff members, each child will receive individualized attention, ensuring their unique development and needs are nurtured and furthered, through quality and positive relationship and interaction.
Maranatha Pre-Primary programme provides learning opportunities that develop quality language, mathematical, scientific, and advanced thinking skills in our learners. With emphasis on hands-on learning, each learner is empowered to take responsibility for their learning journey, and engage their mind, body and soul in everything they do.
