The classrooms and indoor play area are fully equipped for the wholesome development of children in our care. Our Principles Every child is unique and has a different learning curve. We customize our curriculum to fit their individual needs. The first five years of a child’s life lay the foundation for the years ahead. The human brain is at its most malleable than, and skills learned and developed in these years enable further learning. At the same time, areas of the brain not stimulated in this period can lose the ability to make new connections. The principles on which our program is founded are: Customization Each child is unique has their own needs and develops at a different pace from others. An effective program must be customized to the development curve of each child Curriculum A strong foundation is the scaffolding for the future. The most effective early childhood education is a combination of play-based, explorative learning, and a structured, directed approach, in an environment that is fully supportive of the needs of the individual child Care Children have an immense capacity for learning, imagination, creativity, and self-expression. With care and nourishment, in the right learning environment combined with the right teaching methods, core cognitive, social, physical, emotional, and creative abilities of children develop, accelerate and strengthen Communication Parents are partners with Safari Kid in the early childhood journey of their children. Effective and constant communication with parents is key to the overall development of the child. At Safari Kid we aim for the all-round development of every child. Our program is designed to accomplish specific developmental goals. COGNITIVE ABILITIES memory, problem-solving, logical thinking, math, and reading skills LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION Our program stresses the acquisition and development of language skills (written and spoken) at a pace that each child is comfortable with. Through a variety of methods, we enable children to develop strong communication skills, enabling them to interact appropriately with adults and peers. LEADERSHIP SKILLS The exploration method used in the classroom, and our strong focus on public speaking, as well as tasks assigned to each child for various learning activities, empower the children and instill leadership qualities. IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY Imagination and creativity are enhanced and developed, with effective use of stories, art and craft exercises, projects, self-directed storytelling and learning, role play, and several other techniques. SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT A fun, healthy, safe, and nurturing environment is critical for the development of the child. At Safari Kid, we go to great lengths to create the conditions that allow for healthy social and emotional development. MOTOR SKILLS The early years are critical for the development of the child’s fine and gross motor skills. Through play, self-directed learning, motor skill enhancing toys, and activities, we develop and hone these skills. To achieve the developmental goals for each child, we have devised a unique method that fuses the learning from several leading international methods of early childhood education with our proprietary program. Our accelerated learning program, developed over ten years in Silicon Valley, focuses on the cognitive, language, and communication skill development of the child. The program incorporates math, science, language (reading and writing), public speaking, and communication skills. Our emergent curriculum takes best practices from Reggio-Emilia, Waldorf (Steiner), and Montessori teaching methods to foster creativity and imagination, personal, emotional, and social development, skills in the creative arts, and gross and fine motor skills in each child. This ensures that children pursue their interests. They are guided by their teachers while at the same time developing their imagination through creative play, aided and unaided storytime, and a variety of other methods. Safari Kid customizes the program to the learning capacity of each child. Customization of learning is achieved not only through our high teacher-to-student ratio but is embedded in the program through our unique curriculum and lessons. In essence, children learn in stages and advance only once they’ve mastered the previous stage, with each stage of learning serving as a base for the next. The three pillars of our program ensure that we meet all of our developmental objectives in a fun, caring, nurturing environment, and at a pace that every child is individually comfortable with. Our experience has shown us that academically children attending Safari Kid tend to be at least one grade ahead of their peers in primary school. Our students stand out as natural leaders in a group and can communicate effectively with peers and elders. Safari Kids are more creative problem solvers who demonstrate more imagination and creativity than their peers.

Various projects and work various projects and work Languages at Safari Kid We offer intensive instruction in second and third languages, on par with our English program At Safari Kid, we incorporate teaching in the local language of the region for all children at an early stage (Arabic in our Middle East centers, Bahasa in Malaysia, and Chinese in Hong Kong). All our centers in Asia and the Middle East also offer intensive Mandarin as an option to students, and our centers in the Middle East offer French, in addition to Arabic. We will be bringing further languages to our program in all locations, too. Our main, English program, speeds up reading, writing, and communication skills in children from the beginning. By the age of three, most children at Safari Kid schools can read three-letter words. By the age of five, it is not uncommon for Safari Kids to be writing one-page stories and our curriculum at that level incorporates reading comprehension, too! We follow the same principles as our main programs for other languages that are taught in our centers. Our Mandarin program, for example, has students learning to read and write in Chinese (traditional in Hong Kong, simplified elsewhere, and pinyin everywhere) from the time they enter Level One (around 2.5 years). This ensures that students attending Safari Kid anywhere are ready for both local and international school systems and excel in comparison to their peers. View full school
