"Where wonder begins and curiosity is celebrated every day."
Nursery at Tykes Early Years is a child's first formal encounter with the world beyond home designed with deep understanding of what a 2.5 to 3.5 year old truly needs: warmth, security, gentle structure, and the freedom to explore.
Nursery at Tykes Early Years is where a child's first formal learning journey begins. Our programme is built around the understanding that children aged 2.5 to 3.5 years need warmth first, structure second and always, the freedom to explore at their own pace.
Our teachers are trained to make separation from caregivers gentle, consistent, and positive creating a second home where children quickly feel safe enough to play, connect, and discover. Every corner, every routine, every interaction is intentional.
Six key developmental areas woven into every day building the foundations of a lifetime of learning.
Action songs, picture books, storytelling, puppets, and rhymes build vocabulary, listening skills, and the joy of spoken language in a pressure-free, playful environment.
Water play, sand play, clay, playdough, threading, pouring, and stacking develop fine and gross motor skills simultaneously because children learn through their hands.
Learning to share, take turns, express feelings, and develop trust in peers and teachers the social-emotional foundation upon which all future learning is built.
Open-ended art, music, movement, and dramatic play allow children to express and process their inner world safely, joyfully, and without judgement.
Number concepts through counting games and sorting. Pre-literacy through alphabet exposure, print awareness, and phonological play introduced playfully, never pressured.
Running, climbing, balancing, and cooperative games develop physical confidence, coordination, and the ability to navigate social play with peers in the real world.
Children arrive and settle with open access to learning corners. Teachers observe and facilitate child-initiated play, building emotional security and independence through a consistent routine.
Whole-class gathering for greetings, calendar and weather activities, theme introduction, and music and movement. Builds community, language, and the habit of focused group participation.
Teacher-facilitated activity aligned to the monthly theme language, numeracy, science, or arts designed to introduce or consolidate a specific concept using hands-on materials.
Healthy snack break with structured table manners practice, peer conversation, and independent tasks. Life skills and social grace developed in a real, everyday context.
Children rotate through structured learning corners Library, Discovery, Art, Construction, Dramatic Play, and Digital in small groups. Teachers facilitate, observe, and document learning.
Structured outdoor session combining gross motor skill development, free movement, cooperative games, and nature exploration. Physical development is a curriculum priority, not an add-on.
Guided story session, art or craft aligned to theme, and closing reflection where children share what they discovered. Builds language, listening, and metacognitive habits.
For full-day Daycare children: hot lunch, supervised rest, afternoon enrichment activities, evening snack, and flexible pickup until 7 pm. Full supervision by trained staff throughout.
