Pre-Primary
2 - 3 Years
In our Pre-Primary community, we greatly emphasize preparing an environment in which each child has the ability to move and explore, which supports the development of their self-knowledge. By appealing to the children’s senses through order, balance, and harmony, our environment allows students to follow their natural curiosity and experiment with the materials. Freedom is given within limits in order for each child to become organized and learn respect for others.
The children participate in developmentally appropriate activities using materials that they can manipulate with their hands. And, along with teachers and parents, they feel a sense of community in which to experience the importance of caring for others.
The activities of Practical Life are everyday living skills, such as caring for yourself and caring for where you live (the environment). Practical Life activities aid children’s development of concentration, coordination of movement, order, and independence. These activities are crucial to the integration of the child’s personality, because they develop trust and feelings of self-worth.
What Our Parents Say:
"My daughter has been with Fulbright since early March of this year soon after she turned 2. Fulbright has exceeded my expectations in a number of ways. First of all, the teachers, especially Ms. Julie, the Director of the school, and her classroom teachers are extremely loving and caring - they know every little detail about my daughter including her favorite book, food that she doesn't enjoy eating, and activities she likes to do. My husband and I toured more than 5 different schools before selecting Fulbright. Of all the schools that we toured, we could tell immediately that the kids at Fulbright seemed genuinely happy. Secondly, I can see the academic, emotional, and social progress that my daughter has made and continues to make at school. When she first started, she did not know a word of English - now, she is a fluent English speaker. And she can count numbers from 1 to 20 without any assistance. She can also sing a number of songs and dance along with them. Not to mention that she learns good manners at school which I believe is more important in life than academic excellence. All in all, we are thrilled to have found this wonderful school and we hope this review helps anyone in search of a school." - Reum K
