First School (3 - 5 Year)

For Children To Recognize And Be Sociable

Wow, your preschooler is now on the path to formal education and here at MonkeyMoos we understand how important these years are. Our preschool room begins to pave the way towards school by introducing slightly more structure to the children’s day and by offering a wealth of learning opportunities to help them to continue to develop the social and academic skills needed for school. Don’t worry though, your preschooler will still have plenty of time for play, play is one of the most important tools in teaching as children learn best when they are doing things they love. That’s why the curriculum here at MonkeyMoos is based around the children’s likes and interests.
