Kindergarten

The LSIS Kindergarten curriculum comes in the best Developmental Appropriate Practices. Each undertaking is anchored on 8 Key Developmental Areas. Children are assessed in different areas of competency: Vocabulary, Identifying Letters and Phonemic Awareness, Spelling Ability, Comprehension and Interpretation, Mathematics Ability, Visual Discrimination, Psychomotor, and Socio-Emotional Development. Thus, well-defined means and tools are provided to affect learning. This guarantees Kindergarten learners to become physically, socially, and mentally healthy. The program provides a concrete foundation on which children will bring an understanding of diversity; build exemplary characteristics, and experience the world as successful learners. Regular evaluation of the program and environment is done to maintain and ensure the children’s growth and development. All facets of learning are all geared towards a child’s development: attributes of the facilitators, learning centers, and activities lay as a foundation in early childhood education.

Academic Program

Class programs are conducted through managing the “BLOCKS OF TIME” with tri-annual themes and activities are a repertoire of a group and individualized learning, and free- playtime. Each program captures the child’s interest in the best Developmentally- Appropriate Practices.
