The pre-primary program builds a resilient foundation for 21st century learners.
The pre-primary program at LCIS, for 2.5 to 5.5-year-olds, has two approaches – Kindergarten and Montessori. Both work on the shared principle of stimulating young minds through inquiry. While Montessori students learn through doing rather than instruction, Kindergarten students use play and a nurturing environment to enhance their natural skills and gifts.
In the case of both approaches, LCIS believes in learning through curiosity by constantly encouraging the young ones to boldly ask questions and delve deeper into concepts.
Keeping play and creativity at the center of their lessons, LCIS Early Years program includes a wide range of learning areas such as physical education, visual arts, performing arts, sand-play, gardening and puppet shows. These give the young ones extensive opportunities to express themselves, learn through observation and become more self-aware. The Quest program covers varied topics like my city, me and my family, mammals, personal safety and animal movements. Through the quest topics, students take on different roles to be thinkers, inquirers, researchers and risk-takers. Each topic offers different knowledge and inquiry skills through the activities and lessons planned during the week. Students are given a gamut of experiences to explore and experience the topic through peer interactions, excursion visits during the learning process and growth.
At LCIS, we encourage our parents to help their child gain independence through new explorations beyond school.
