🎯 Mission
"Our mission is to deliver positive engaging and educational experiences that give the children a sense of freedom through a range of activities. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing environment that allows the children to explore individually whilst embracing the natural outdoor environment in which we are based. Our curriculum encompasses creative development with an emphasis on forest school activities."
📚 Approach & Strategies
"Leapfrog provides a spacious, natural environment for your child to grow and learn through play. The medium of instruction is English, with our Mandarin speaking teacher interacting constantly with the children in Chinese. There is also some direct teaching every day and the children enjoy learning Mandarin through games, songs, drama and numeracy activities as well as everyday conversation. Daily Numeracy and Literacy Circle times, phonics and free-choice sessions are incorporated in the curriculum. We also provide an accredited Forest School Program con-currently with the curriculum."
