The early years of a child’s life is when the brain develops most rapidly. The quality of early childhood education is vital for the child’s improvement and personality development to secure a successful future. POLYMATH Kids is the per-primary arm of POLYMATH college lead by a team of experienced teachers qualified in AMI Montessori Education and Child Psychology.
Our objective at POLYMATH Kids is to help, develop an independent, self-motivated and confident child who embraces a lifelong love of learning. We foster this love for learning by providing an age-appropriate child-sized environment that encourages exploration and the ability for each child to learn at his/her own pace, ultimately guide them on their chosen path of success
POLYMATH Kids consists of four separate groups specialized as Toddlers, Play Group, Lower Kindergarten (LKG) and Upper Kindergarten (UKG).
Each of these groups are carefully supervised to ensure that the standard of education remains at an optimum level. Children are guided by the Exploration Learning Approach (ELA) and committed to mentoring children and encouraging them to learn, grow and have fun exploring the big world around them by providing opportunities for kids to play, listen, talk, read, write, draw, sing, dance, experiment, investigate and develop intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally.
