Early Learning Centre
EARLY LEARNING CENTRE (1,5-6 YEARS OLD)
SNA’s Early Learning Centre specializes in providing a Prepared Environment that spurs your child to learn during his/her most receptive stage from 2 to 6 years-a period when a child’s mind leaps to growth.
The Prepared Environment of the SNA Early Learning Centre conditions the child to work and concentrate. Your child will lose any bad habits of disorderliness, selfishness or dependence. The Montessori trained teacher, breaking away from the rigid traditional disciplines, will recognize and nurture his spontaneous urge to learn, particularly through movement.
