Nursery school: Where life skills are built alongside ABCs and 123s

Besides academics, developing children’s social and emotional skills is a priority at Second Home Nursery School.

You’ve been with your baby from the moment they entered this world. You’ve been by their side constantly – holding them, comforting them, feeding them, and playing with them. So understandably, when you consider enrolling your child at a nursery school, a number of questions and doubts may arise in your mind. While anxiety and sadness are unavoidable feelings when it comes to being separated from them, starting nursery is the start of a new and exciting stage in your child’s life – one that will enrich their lives academically, emotionally and socially.

Not only does it lay the foundation of learning that will take place at kindergarten, but going to a nursery school gives young children an opportunity to play with other children, to learn how to share and to follow simple instructions, in groups as well as individually with a staff member. Being in this nurturing and enabling environment will also help your child develop confidence and boost their social skills.

Second Home Nursery School is dedicated to providing a supportive environment for children to experience different methods of learning.

So don’t worry about having to choose between protecting your child’s play time and focusing on academic skills to prepare them for kindergarten – a high quality early childhood education (such as the EYFS programme) will ensure that your child is offered the best of both, because staff are trained to understand the unique ways that young children learn and develop. Time, space and activities are organized in such a way that they are suited to children’s cognitive, social, physical and emotional capabilities, thereby putting your child on the path to success.
