Nursery

When a child joins the Mars1 nursery, they have already tackled their separation anxiety and have learned the basics of socialising and gaining familiarity with the classroom spaces. At this stage in Mars1, we increase the amount of time they spend with us, we read longer books to enable an increase in their attention spans and we work on their patience by encouraging our learners to share materials and by taking longer turns with each of them. Since our astronauts have already learnt to work as a large group by this time, in the nursery, we challenge them to explore their curriculum while working in smaller groups and pairs.

The Mars1 nursery curriculum focuses on the following:

• Developing language and maths skills
• Honing:
  • Fine motor skills are important for activities such as writing, drawing, cutting, and colouring
  • Gross motor skills through activities such as running, skipping, jumping, and kicking

School Time: 9:00 A.M. - 12.30 P.M.
