In order to achieve the developmental goals for each child, we have devised a unique program that fuses the learning from several leading international methods of early childhood education with our own proprietary program.
The Safari Kid program for early childhood rests on three pillars:
- Our accelerated learning program, developed over eight years in Silicon Valley, focuses on the cognitive, language and communication skill development of the child. The program incorporates math, science, language (reading and writing), public speaking and communication skills.
- Our emergent curriculum takes best practices from the top-most internationl learning approaches to foster creativity, imagination, personal emotional and social development, skills in the creative arts and gross and fine motor skills in each child. This ensures that children pursue activities of their interest, guided by the teachers, while at the same time developing their imagination through creative play, aided and unaided story time and a variety of other methods.
- Customization of the program to the learning capacity of each child is the third cornerstone of the Safari Kid program. Customization of learning is achieved not only through our low teacher – student ratios, but is embedded in the program through in built mechanisms in the curriculum and teaching plans. In essence, children learn in stages, and advance to one stage only once they’ve mastered the previous stage, with each stage of learning serving as a base for the next.
The three pillars of our program ensure that we meet all the developmental objectives of our program in a fun, caring and nurturing environment, and at a pace that every child is individually comfortable with. Our experience has shown us that children attending Safari Kid tend to be at least one grade ahead of their peers in primary school from an academic standpoint, stand out as natural leaders in a group, are able to communicate effectively with peers and elders, are more creative problem solvers and thinkers, and demonstrate more imagination and creativity than their peers.
