Chrysaellect offers four educationally sound and high-quality preschool programmes - The Mind Spark curriculum for schools, aspiring to create learning environments that are engaging, meaningful and fun.
The Mind Spark curriculum (for children aged 0 to 6 years) focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside.
Through engaging with this curriculum, children acquire and learn to apply a set of skills which are valuable not only for the teaching and learning that goes on within the classroom but also in life outside the school. We encourage attitudes that contribute to the wellbeing of the individual and of the group. Children are encouraged to develop personal attitudes towards people, the environment and learning. The programme encourages the development of the following attitudes and skill sets in children:
