At Imagine! We are intentional about providing an enriching and ‘enabling’ environment for our children, a positive environment that is filled with love and warmth, that makes our children feel Safe, Secure, and Special. (3S). We believe children develop best when all 3S’s are ticked, they are then able to confidently explore their environment. We offer unrivaled care and attention to ensure you feel secure in the knowledge that your child is cared for in the best way possible in our safe, secure, and enjoyable environment. We help children develop social-emotional & cognitive skills that foster critical thinking, problem-solving all of which give them an advantage in other core competence skills such as Math and literacy. Furthermore, Cognitive and Social-Emotional skills are essential life skills that help to build a child’s emotional quotient and confidence. We believe these skills are as important as other academic subjects and we are intentional about ensuring our students achieve their age-appropriate goals. Our enrichment programs incorporated into our daily schedule at no extra cost are a favorite amongst our children and parents. Programs such as Mandarin, French, Music, Engineering For Kids, Dance, Cookery, Chess, e.t.c. Children learn best through a self–discovery process where they can try new things through play, exploration, and exposure. This understanding makes us deliberate in our approach to learning – we ensure developmentally -appropriate learning opportunities that actively engages a child’s critical thinking skills and allows them to construct meaning from the world around them, helping them to become self-confident in their abilities to learn, to create, to imagine! We know the decision for which school to take your precious one is a very important one and here are some thoughts to consider: Would you want a school that : - Has well qualified, continuously trained, and absolutely passionate staff? - Have unrivaled facilities (including a world-class Dance Studio), intentionally set up to stimulate the minds of the students and encourage exploration with its indoor and outdoor play areas? - Prioritizes hygiene and safety with measures such as Biometric access, security guards, hand sanitization, and no shoe policy amongst others? - Has incorporated a variety of enrichment programs to our school curriculum at no additional fees – programs such as Mandarin, French, Engineering for Kids, Chess, Music, Dance, Swimming, Cooking, Nature walks, and more…? - Has direct collaboration with an international enrichment program provider – Engineering for kids? - Has incorporated a unique and intentional ‘practical life’ weekly plan helping children learn character while learning academics and to gain independence and confidence to be a part of the society. - Has early and extended hours to suit working parents. - Is it open year-round (except public holidays & 2 weeks in December) for the under 24month age group? - Has CCTV cameras in every area of the building (including the student restrooms) with a 2-way constant monitoring system? - Has a lower Adult to Child Ratio than International standards? - Provides a detailed daily report with photos and videos updates making parents feel like they were part of their child’s day and are able to extend learning at home? - Strong Parent partnership and communication? If you answered Yes to any of the above, then you are in the right place, Imagine E & E provides all of the above and much more. Here are more reasons why you should choose us: In-Depth Learning By involving students with the interaction of learning materials. They relate the concept they study with everyday activities and enhance their knowledge and understanding. Students also activate their prior knowledge and build on existing conceptual knowledge frameworks. Student-Centered Learning Students are actively involved and they like this method. It fosters active learning, and also retention and development of lifelong learning skills. It encourages self-directed learning by confronting students with problems and stimulates the development of deep learning. Play Our learning activities are based on play – Play is the highest form of research and we let our children explore learning through play – they not only learn while playing, they develop a love for learning which is fundamental to lifelong success. Comprehension not Facts Focuses on engaging students in finding solutions to real life situations and pertinent contextualized problems. Discussion forums and collaborative research take the place of lecturing. Lifelong Learning Emphasis to lifelong learning by developing in students the potential to determine their own goals, locate appropriate resources for learning and assume responsibility for what they need to know.
