Kindergarten readiness is so important that we’ve added a Back to Basics Math, Language & Literacy Program that complies with national standards for Kindergarten.

Building on Preschool learning, your child will experience learning by:

  • Strengthening Reading Skills
  • Practicing Writing Letters and Words
  • Developing Math Skills
  • Getting Ready for School

PP1 Program

As PP1/KG 2 gain more self-esteem, they feel ready to take on the world. Our PP1/KG 2 Foundation program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and develop a love of lifelong learning.

Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children develop a variety of skills and knowledge in areas like early literacy, mathematics, and science, Kiswahili and social skills. We’re proud of the work we do. In fact, Olivine School creates its programs to align to approximately to learning standards that progress sequentially across six developmental domains. Kindergarten 2 is a time when children are making connections between what they know and what they are learning. As they leave the world of playground school and head towards Primary/Junior school, children are learning to participate in routines, demonstrate ability to make decisions, and plan ahead. Daily activities are designed to help children continue to make decisions on their own and in the classroom. We prepare them for the next stage of their education while giving them a place to feel comfortable and safe to explore their interests.
