Does your child struggle with…

  • Still sounding out simple words
  • Speaks in short, broken phrases
  • Shy to read aloud or share
  • Not yet writing full sentences

Here's how we help

  • Confident phonics & sight words
  • Speaking in full, clear sentences
  • First joined-up written stories
  • A genuine liking for reading

Inside the programme

Preschool English Preparatory is where a child first discovers that reading and writing are fun rather than a test. Through picture-talk, phonics games and gentle story-building, we grow the foundations — sounds, sight words, full-sentence speech and the very first written stories — at a pace that suits a five- or six-year-old.

Our preschool teachers are trained early-years specialists who know that confidence is the real syllabus at this age. Classes are kept to six children so every little voice is heard, every drawing becomes a sentence, and no child is rushed. We move from speaking, to reading, to writing in that natural order.

By the time our preschoolers reach Primary 1, they walk in able to read simple texts, speak in full sentences and put a short story on the page — and, just as importantly, expecting English to be something they enjoy. Few head starts before formal school matter more, or last longer.

Best for

K1 and K2 children getting ready for Primary 1 English, or simply learning to love books.
