Primary School

Our PRIMARY school curriculum is thoughtfully designed to include subjects such as Science, Math, English, History, Geography, PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic education), and ICT (Information and Communication Technology).

In addition to our core subjects, we offer a well-rounded education that extends beyond the classroom. Students have the opportunity to explore their talents in sports, music, and art, fostering a holistic approach to their development.

At Kiddies Garden, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who not only excel academically but also thrive in various aspects of life, preparing them for a future of limitless possibilities.

Through interactive learning experiences, children develop a robust academic foundation. Regular communication ensures parents are kept informed about their child's progress in this well-rounded introduction to primary education.
