A kindergarten is the very first school a child attends and hence we place a strong emphasis on our school atmosphere. St Teresa's Kindergarten uses "developmentally appropriate" teaching practices to suit both the needs and levels of the children. To put it simply, our teachers think first about what young children are like and then create an environment and experiences that are in tune with their characteristics. Our teachers make learning relevant, interesting, and fun. Children in our kindergarten learn through individual, small group teaching, and whole-class activities. They are encouraged to Wonder, Think, Feel and Imagine. Our qualified and experienced Early Chi…
