Welcome to Piccolo Early Learning Centre
Piccolo, meaning “Little One” in Italian, opened its doors in March 2020. A colourful and loving Pre-school offering a creative and stimulating curriculum, warm environment for emotional and character building, as well as socially nurturing spaces for pre-schoolers. We learn through play and there are great areas for exploration and instilling a sense of wonder. A school is not just a building, its facilities, and equipment, but also, passionate, involved teachers and parents, and most importantly happy and stimulated children.
Bunny Class
The Bunny Classroom is a warm and happy space where our little learners enjoy a positive experience of school. At this age, language development is key to emotional growth. Sensory experiences and social interactions will help develop communication and cognitive skills. Themed activities encourage children to explore concepts such as texture, size, shape, and weight through a variety of activities. They are gently guided in their play to incorporate all aspects of learning. The key to engaging a child at this young age is the quality of relationship formed between the child and their teacher. Child/Teacher ratio: 1 Qualified Teacher and 1 Full-time Assistant per max. 15 children

Imaginative play is important at age as language skills develop and social bonds begin to strengthen. Group activities such as painting, baking, and science teach teamwork and participation. Story time requires concentration and discipline and teaches vital listening and comprehension skills. All essential aspects to their daily routine.

Squirrel Class
At this age relationships have evolved, and bonds of friendship strengthen. Friendships build confidence and inspire discovery and collaboration amongst peers. It is at this stage where you can begin to enjoy the open-minded, problem-solving abilities, lateral thinking, and uncomplicated approaches of children. Exploration of their own capabilities leads to a better understanding of their concept of self, and they develop a great sense of pride as they become more and more independent. Your child will also enjoy more of our activities developed especially for their age group, building stamina, self-awareness, participation, and concentration skills. Child/Teacher ratio: 1 Qualified Teacher and 1 Full-time Assistant per max. 15 children

Owl Class
The academic program begins to step up during this year. The Owl Class environment incorporates opportunities for children to learn through carefully planned activities that challenge each child, building skills in language (e.g., reading and comprehension, and listening skills), math (e.g., counting, sharing, sorting, one-to-one correspondence, etc.), and science (e.g., colour mixing, baking, and weather studies, etc.), in addition to physical activity, music, and art. Respect for self, others and the environment are always at the heart of our Piccolo philosophy. By this age children are competent and confident, to face everyday challenges and opportunities and are successful, caring individuals. Child/Teacher ratio: 1 Qualified Teacher and 1 Full-time Assistant per max. 15 children
