Number Sense is integral in ensuring children connect numbers to their own real life experiences. Numeracy is embedded in our everyday lives and children are naturally curious developing mathematical ideas without often even realizing it. Mathematics is in everyday activities such as playing, reading, baking, storytelling and helping around the home/school. Early numeracy encompasses things such as comparing quantities, searching for patterns, sorting objects, ordering, creating and building with blocks etc.

Letterland is a child-friendly, multi-sensory system for teaching children to read, write and spell. The secret of its worldwide success lies in its pictogram characters and their ability to make learning fun!

Art is alive in the child. Art education helps create and appreciate visual aesthetics. When kids are encouraged to express themselves and take risks in creating art, they develop a sense of innovation and inventiveness that will be important in their adult lives.
