Petals' SAPLING, i.e. Pre-Nursery, is an upgrade that takes our Petalians a step ahead in their educational journey. At this age, children
demonstrate affection while expressing their preferences, feelings, and interests. They also identify familiar noises, understand more complicated words, and carry on
a conversation by switching topics. They are taught to use their newly acquired vocabulary when conversing with others. They also learn to run safely, climb
confidently, mimic simple shapes, analyze changes in quantity or size when something is added to or removed, notice the fine details of objects, operate mechanical
toys and much more.
At Petals, we believe that education is never just confined to books. The harmonious pace of growth prepares Petalians for a lifetime of learning experiences and
cultivates admiration in them for creating, learning, discovering, and exploring. In
SAPLING, i.e. Pre-Nursery of Petals, toddler's curiosity is also accomplished every month with new themes and concepts that focus on developing
academic skills such as reading, counting numbers, writing numbers and alphabets, which enhances their cognitive skills, social habits and physical development.
Some activities include painting, dancing, hunting, phonics, sensory exploration, nature walks, looking through a magnifying glass, STEAM activities,
and much more.
