Creative Curriculum
Our curriculum is based on an emergent approach, focusing on the interests and interaction of the children.
Natural Learning
Learning areas are set up to support exploration and to imitate the natural world. (Reading Nook, Home Corner, Construction Area, Arts Centre, Sensory Bins, Pretend Play Area).
World Class Materials
Learning materials from Montessori and Froebel are used as gifts to support learning in important areas including sensorial, practical life, geography and cultural studies.
Supplementary Programs
Art & Craft
Art is an integral part of the daily activities at Playhouse Academy. A variety of craft materials and media are readily available for children to experiment independently or as a group. We put a strong emphasis on the process of expressing oneself creatively through art.
Music
The Music program at Playhouse Academy teaches the basic elements of music in a fun way. Children are exposed to many different types of music so they develop an appreciation for a variety of musical styles. The hands-on music lessons promote personal enjoyment of music and interaction with peers. The elements of timbre, pitch, tempo, dynamics and rhythm are introduced within five areas of focus: listening, creativity, singing, music & movement and performing.
Physical Education
The PE and Gym sessions at Playhouse Academy promote the development of gross motor skills and team spirit. Children learn to be cooperative and show good sportsmanship through team games. Children participate in ball games, relay games and movement activities such as running, jumping, climbing, hopping, skipping, galloping and so on.
Cooking
Children learn to plan and prepare delicious snacks during Cooking Sessions at Playhouse Academy. As they measure, mix ingredients, learn cooking terms and use kitchen equipment appropriately, they are learning to create something and solve problems along the way.
Library
At Playhouse Academy, we aim to nurture your child’s love of books by having daily story telling, and weekly visits to the Library to develop early literacy skills. Children can borrow books from the library, as they learn to handle books with care.
Technology
Technology and interactive media are used as tools for effective learning to enhance children’s cognitive and social skills. They are used to support early childhood practice while integrating it into the environment, curriculum and daily routines.
