is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the

in the environment "

The
child no longer lives in the boundaries of his own home,
nor does he work within the walls of a classroom or from
the limits of text books. Through rich and stimulating cultural
studies, we strive to provide him with ample opportunities
to expand his interaction between mankind and nature thereby
enhancing his experiences with humanity.
Between ages 3 and 6 children continue to exhibit great
curiosity. They love using their senses to inspect and explore
the many aspects of the world around them.

Botany and Zoology
Children have a natural curiosity about plants and animals.
They derive great delight in exploring the plant kingdom;
touching and feeling the different texture of the leaves;
smelling the different fragrance of flowers. Their natural
bond and love for animals unconsciously develop a sense
of care for all living things around them. Moreover, through
hands-on activities and experiments, the children's need
and curiosity for the natural living things around them
are satisfied.
