In Pre-School, we have four (4) departments which are: Reception (Duckling), Nursery 1 (Glosling), Nursery 2 (Joey) and Nursery 3 (Foal). Our early years starts from the age of one and half to five years (11/2-5). We have an excellent foundation for learning. We follow the BRITISH, AMERICAN & NIGERIAN Curricula. We have series of activities, real life experiences that motivates the children and provides a solid base for their development and academics.
Our staff consider the individual interests and development of each child in their care and plan a challenging and enjoyable experience of each child in all of the areas of learning and development. Our experience staff takes care of the children on a level that is age appropriate to their learning. Our Early Years at STEM Child Care Academy provides pupils with an enabling indoor and outdoor environment that encourages children to think creatively.
Lessons are planned with the children’s interests in mind to ensure that every child make progress based on their individual learning needs. We have different learners, our educators are trained to know and tackle each learner accordingly. The learners are:
