Recognizing that pre-primary students have limited attention spans, we structure their lessons with breaks to allow for naps, snacks, and occasional games. This approach ensures that they remain engaged and refreshed.
In an era where cultural traditions are increasingly overlooked, our team is committed to preserving and passing on these important cultural practices. By integrating traditional dance into our curriculum, we help students connect with their heritage and maintain a link to their roots, enriching their educational experience and cultural awareness.
