Curriculum

Our curriculum framework is benchmarked against internationally acclaimed practices.It is specifically designed to broaden your child’s intellectual horizons from a developmentally appropriate perspective.

Our preschool curriculum is one of the few play based curriculums in Sri Lanka. We recognise that play is one of the most effective approaches for preschool children to learn and retain knowledge – both academic knowledge as well as essential life skills.  The Sparkle Tots curriculum merges inquiry-based learning, play based approaches and learning though play, in order to ensure that children enjoy learning, are prepared for formal school, and are prepared for life

Early Years (Playgroup and Pre-Kindergarten)

Our programmes are based on play activities and experiences that build on children’s interests, curiosity and their natural quest for knowledge through discovery and active hands-on explorations.
 

We provide opportunities for children to develop holistically in areas such as early language, early numeracy, physical development, aesthetics and creative expression and social emotional development.

​

Sensorial and natural experiences, both indoors and outdoors, are interwoven into each developmental area to ensure that children use their senses to make sense of the world around them.

Preschool Years (Lower Kindergarten and Upper Kindergarten)

We adopt an integrated approach for theme-based learning through experiential and progressive methods. We keep the learning process engaging and prepare our children with skills that are crucial for formal schooling.

​

The themes are carefully selected to incorporate Multicultural Education, History, Geography, Environmental Education and Character Development. Within the planned activities, all key learning areas as described in the Nurturing Early Learners Framework (NEL) are meaningfully designed and integrated.

Benefits Of A Play Based Learning Curriculum:
 
Raise Confidence: Your child’s confidence will be boosted when he/she is able to accomplish games during our play time. We progressively increase the difficulty of the activities to empower them and recognise every child’s progress to encourage them further.

Build Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
Skills: Play provides many opportunities for your child to encounter, explore and solve obstacles. From tasks like building blocks to more complex ones such as performing a drama piece, your child will be put in scenarios to sharpen his/her critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Improve Knowledge Retention: Confucius once said, “I hear and I forget. I
see and I remember. I do and I understand.”. This idea has been proven by studies that have shown the correlation of hands-on learning and one’s ability to recall what he has learnt. Our play based curriculum ensures that your child will be doing rather than merely listening in his/her early childhood education at Sparkle Tots.

Groom Teamwork:  Through our playgroups, your child will learn to work together with others to achieve a common goal. In doing so, they will pick up essential team skills such as patience, emotional self-regulation, perseverance and communication.

Develop Motivation: Innately, children love to play. By leveraging on this yearning and structuring the learning environment to focus on topics that they are interested in, your child will be highly motivated and actively involved in his/her own learning.
