Our Programmes

At The Caterpillar's Cove Child Development and Study Centre, the curriculum is driven by a set of learning outcomes that are appropriate and sequential within each age group and across all ages from 18 months to 6 years.

There will be a variety of indoor and outdoor activities that constitute both the structured and emergent programmes that run throughout the day. Learning is primarily through play (hands-on experiences), mediation from adults and collaboration with peers. We also believe in preparing children for formal school. In helping children with school readiness, our activities encourage children's exploration in language, mathematics concepts, creative expression, social and physical learning.
