As preschools, kindergartens and other early education establishments increase in numbers in cities, towns and residential areas all over the country, families may find it challenging to pick out the most ideal one for their little ones’ best interests. Most parents today, if not all, have already realised that academics is not the only facet of early education, if the best outcomes were to be achieved for their children. There has to be a very good balance too, between play and learning, something which is not that easy to accomplish without a well-constructed curriculum.

For the award-winning La Felice Preschool, striking the perfect balance between play and academics for toddlers and preschoolers has been the main focus since day one. The preschool has managed to accomplish its goal of balancing these main elements of early education exceptionally well by merging the principles of two world-renowned teaching approaches – Reggio Emilia and Montessori. What followed was a curriculum that enabled children to experience the benefits of playing while being equipped with academic enrichment, forming a strong educational foundation and better school readiness.

Five key areas of play elements for the enrichment little ones need

La Felice Preschool’s programmes for little ones’ enrichments are created to foster creativity and imagination in young, impressionable minds, and they comprise five key areas deemed crucial for proper early development. They are La Creative; La Explorer; La Sensorial; La Nature; and La Chef. Rounded up, they offer the ideal advantages of playing and learning while little ones learn to communicate more confidently, express themselves better and immersing themselves in movement, art, music, and much more!

An academic foundation with school readiness in mind

Accompanying this impressive play-based approach of La Felice is an academic foundation created for successful future school readiness. The renowned preschool’s academic programme for little ones is a shining example of a phenomenally well-rounded early education as it successfully integrates play-based learning and academic readiness while nurturing important everyday life skills. This holistic early education journey is open for toddlers (ages 2 and 3) and preschoolers (ages 4, 5, and 6), offering them an outstanding curriculum for the most robust, all-inclusive development. Little ones will be duly exposed to reading, writing, mathematics, and multilingualism (English, Mandarin & Bahasa Malaysia) lessons, paving their way for school readiness, with exceptional confidence to boot. It goes without saying that all lessons are carried out in fun, enjoyable approaches, keeping littles ones excited to learn and experience more!
