Happy Kids, Smarter Minds
At The Little Castle, our Nursery Program is specially designed for children aged 3 to 4 years, a stage when imagination blooms and foundational learning takes shape. We combine scientific early childhood education principles with a nurturing environment to ensure that every child learns with joy, grows with confidence, and thrives at their own pace.
🧠 Why Nursery Education at 3–4 Years Is Crucial
Between ages 3 and 5, a child’s brain undergoes rapid development — especially in areas related to:
• Language acquisition
• Executive functioning (attention, memory, impulse control)
• Emotional regulation
• Social interaction
According to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the American Academy of Pediatrics, quality early childhood education leads to:
• Stronger school readiness
• Higher emotional intelligence
• Improved language and math skills
• Reduced behavioral issues later in school
🎓 Our Scientific Learning Approaches
We bring together research-backed methodologies to shape a holistic, child-centered nursery experience:
🧩 1. Montessori Philosophy
• Encourages independence, order, and hands-on learning
• Materials like number rods, sandpaper letters, and shape sorters foster self-discovery
🎨 2. Reggio Emilia Approach
• Children express themselves through “100 languages” — art, drama, music, and storytelling
• Learning is project-based and builds curiosity through exploration
🧠 3. Play-Based Learning with Structure
• Guided free play and structured games enhance cognitive flexibility, working memory, and self-control
• Supported by research from the Harvard Center on the Developing Child
🌐 4. Multiple Intelligences Theory (Howard Gardner)
• Recognizes diverse talents: visual, linguistic, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, etc.
• We tailor classroom activities to meet each child’s learning strengths
