After arrival, children take out their things and put them in the appropriate location. Then they play with alphabet puzzles, developmental toys, blocks, sewing cards, lego, etc. They can also draw pictures, read books, and play house etc. with the assistance of the staff.

Children and teachers engage in casual conversation and talk about the weather, date, likes, dislikes, favorite things, a theme of the week etc.

Children enjoy singing and dancing to our monthly songs and chants.
SOPHIA lends the “Monthly Songs” CD so that families may also enjoy them at home.

Our study time curriculum incorporates English (writing, speaking, phonics), Mathematics skills (numbers, counting, shapes etc.), Science, Arts, Crafts, Cultures from around the world, holiday and seasonal themes/projects etc. Physical education is also an important aspect of study time that includes gymnastics, dance and playing at the park/outside. Positive classroom behavior is also a large part of study time in that students are encouraged to sit at their desks nicely, listen to the teacher, take turns, raise their hands, ask questions, etc.

We encourage the children to get ready for lunch on their own. The children get their own lunch boxes from their bags, sit down and prepare their lunch sets. The children learn manners and find delight in having lunch with others.

The children go back to their classes for their afternoon activities; story time, art & crafts, theme based activities & games, pretend play, origami, building blocks, etc.
