At Phonics Land Learning Centre , children learn to become independent, guided and encouraged by their teachers to learn skills such as feeding themselves, dressing and clearing up toys. Children are praised and nurtured, and there’s time for active play, art and music in different areas of the classroom. The centre’s programmes are structured and goal-oriented, teaching children to read and spell within a very short period of time, while making phonics interesting, fun and easy. Also on offer is the My Little Classroom English pre-school programme, offered three times daily, for children aged 18 months to three years.
