Designer of quality curricula
Adopting the Finland education framework, our Walkers program includes the building of creativity, language skills and concept knowledge alongside character and attitudes. Activities like construction and block-building, painting and drawing, outdoor and indoor gross motor play are coupled with dramatic play and dress-ups, puzzles, music, movement, singing and drama. Games, reading and story-telling also aid to promote social interactions and relationship skills development.
The Walkers program provides hands-on, play-based learning experiences. The children will develop fine and gross motoric skills through a range of physical play where they will develop muscular control and hand/eye coordination. Learning through play will build up their social skills, independence, and understanding and learning routines.
The result is an effective child-centric, skills-based learning framework that develops a child holistically. What you see in our centres, are children embarking on a personal odyssey of creative learning and character development. They become young maestros of their mind, acquiring intelligent thinking habits which accelerate their learning.
Responding and understanding some words, forming simple sentences, singing and responding to songs, rhymes and stories.

Higher-Order Learning
Children were simply not born to be mini-adults
Play is central to the daily routine of the infant program. Play creates opportunities and the context for infants to observe and learn about the world, promotes important skills in cognition, language, physical, social and emotional learning.
Learning is as natural and engaging as play. It is language in action – a connection of stories, music, and characters brought to life to capture the imagination of children. Kids learn best in safe, loving places where they can explore, in their own way. The activities for this age group are built around toddlers’ limitless curiosity and their natural desire to push boundaries.
Activities help the children to develop behaviourally, cognitively, emotionally and socially.
Our theme-based curriculum is structured around child-centred themes through activities such as indoor and outdoor play, music, art and craft, hands-on pre-science activities, stories, speech, drama and snacks, as well as letters of the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colours.

Literacy Emphasis
Students are introduced to age appropriate letter identification and receptive language development in addition to important emerging literacy skills fostered through handling books, listening to stories and a healthy dose of music, movement and theater.
The literacy materials allow young children to read and write at an early age, starting with basic letter sounds and progressing to grammar and non-phonetical reading and writing skills.
The phonetic approach adopted in the classroom offers children a tactile, visual and auditory experience which develops into a strong literacy foundation for the child. books lay the foundation for a love of reading. They also help children to develop listening skills, expand language, and foster creativity.
Practical Skills, Cognitive and Sensorial Skills
We enhance each child’s motor skills and cognitive abilities through finger plays, learning and singing new songs, and activities such as waving, clapping, peek-a-boo, and sign language. Sensory skills are developed through art projects like finger painting and making foot and handprints; and by playing with different textures like cool whip, water and soap, pudding, and yogurt.
Children learn to communicate and interact with other children, develop basic etiquettes like greetings, sharing food and toys, acquire practical skills such as eating, cleaning and dressing up independently. The program also incorporates many aspects of practical life skills such as handling cutleries, table manners as well as be responsible and respect the cleanliness of the common areas.
