At Little Oaks Preschool in Whitefield , we believe in providing a comprehensive and enriching educational experience for young children. Our Preschool approach combines the best practices from play-based learning and the Steiner approach to create a balanced and harmonious learning environment.

Play-Based Learning: Kindergarten education at Little Oaks thrives on play-based learning. Our integrated curriculum infuses play with interdisciplinary activities, making learning more enjoyable and purposeful.

Creativity and Imagination: Our kindergarten education celebrates creativity and imagination. An integrated curriculum encourages children to use their creativity across different subject areas, leading to imaginative solutions.

Smooth Transition to Formal Schooling: We gently introduce children to the idea of subjects while maintaining the child-centered, play-oriented approach typical of kindergarten. This eases the transition to formal schooling.

Holistic Learning: Following the Steiner approach, we value the interconnectedness of the arts, academics, and life skills. Our integrated curriculum fosters a more holistic learning experience.

Artistic Expression: At Little Oaks, we incorporate arts and crafts across subjects, providing a platform for artistic expression and creativity.

Rhythm and Routine: Emphasizing daily rhythms and routines, our integrated curriculum seamlessly weaves different subjects into this rhythm, enhancing the predictability and comfort of the learning environment.

Nature and Outdoor Learning: We extend outdoor and nature-based learning experiences, aligning with Steiner’s emphasis on connecting children with the natural world.

Respect for Child Development: Our integrated curriculum respects the developmental stages of children, allowing them to explore concepts in ways that align with their cognitive and emotional growth.
