Course Description

Our pre-school courses nurture a child’s inborn curiosity and excitement in learning. Children gradually develop their abilities and skills in speaking, reading and writing, alongside a blooming creativity and imagination.

Introduction

Kindergarten, a word invented by famous German educator Froebel, means play and activities. Froebel believed in the unique needs of pre-school students. The importance of play and well-designed activities has been advocated by later educators like Jean Piaget and now i-Learner’s teachers.

Pre-school education at i-Learner focuses on the child’s cognitive development. Motor, social and psychological skill development is also encouraged through the carefully designed activities.

The curriculum builds heavily on games, phonics, storytelling, reading and writing. Our integrated approach aims at training children to be competent in language as well as to become curious, creative and imaginative learners.

Last but not least, we believe that kindergarten is a crucial period for a child’s personal development. Therefore, self, love, care and being a global citizen are the core values of our programme.

Course Details

The comprehensive lessons of our Pre-school English course develop your child’s reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. By exploring two books every lesson, your child will rapidly accumulate vocabulary and gain knowledge of key concepts in English.

This course is part of our Growing Giraffes programme, which pairs Pre-school English with Magic Phonics. Students taking one lesson from each course set out on the path to top schools and excellent English abilities.

The course materials fit Bernice’s level very well and I can see improvements after each lesson. Her reading skill has improved a lot. She is able to recognise a number of sight words which are provided in her notes. These sight words help her to read and write simple sentences, so she has found reading books more fun and interesting.

Reading aloud in class helps her to build her confidence through poems and stories. Also, the class has strengthened her phonics skills. She is now able to read by combining the letter sounds instead of by memorising words. The i-Learner teachers are patient and caring, and their lessons are fun!

i-Learner Studio’s teaching approach is among the most innovative and effective I have seen.

Many centres teach young children only basic vocabulary and phonics. Young learners are highly adaptable, and i-Learner’s teachers take the bold and unusual approach of teaching through reading. Children learn to recognise words and also gain an early understanding of sentences, texts and structure, making learning much more engaging. It develops a love of reading from an early age, and many parents, including me, appreciate this approach.

The teachers create their own learning materials. They are rich, interesting and thought-provoking, covering a wide range of knowledge. Teachers also adapt content and pace to each child’s level and learning needs, making their learning more effective.

Aydan enjoys learning here and continues to improve. I am very happy to recommend i-Learner Studio to other parents!

Megan has attended i-Learner’s preschool course for more than half a year. She is engaged in every lesson and loves listening to her teacher tell stories. At first she could not recognise words and expressed her ideas only through pictures. Now, when spelling, she is beginning to use basic phonics skills. Seeing these small steps forward is very encouraging. I am truly grateful for the care and effort of the i-Learner teachers!

My son Angus has attended i-Learner’s preschool course for a year. He always comes out of class with a big smile. Angus loves Ms Anna’s lessons, especially playtime, when she lets him be a little chef and learn through games. Seeing him excitedly share what he has learned after every lesson gives me confidence in continuing his learning at i-Learner.
