Last updated:
Reading, writing and maths foundations that get your child confident and ready for Grade 1.
Why Kindergarten Matters Between 3.5 and 5.5 Years
Kindergarten bridges nursery and formal school. Over two years, Jr. KG and Sr. KG, children build the reading, writing, number and social skills they need for Grade 1. At Rainbow Preschool, our Jr. KG and Sr. KG programmes combine structured learning with play, so children learn to read simple sentences, write confidently, work with numbers and think for themselves. Our goal is a child who walks into Grade 1 confident, curious and ready to learn.
