Entering the world of imagination


Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways. 


They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life. 

This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider.


They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and  mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing.


They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others. 


In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined. 

Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it. 


Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds.

In this unit on how we express ourselves, preschoolers will be encouraged to use:

Open-ended materials (like crayons, paper, clay)
Exposure to stories, music, and other art forms
Time to play and dream without structure



As we continue to enter the world of imagination, it is our key role to nurture this young imagination in preschool by creating a safe, open, and inspiring environment where children feel free to explore and express themselves. 


We will continue with our storytelling, open-ended art activities, creative play, and encourage language use.

Our goal is for the preschoolers to turn their ideas into poems, drawings, and imaginative play! Preschoolers will be guided as they work on building confidence, developing problem-solving skills, and laying the foundation for a lifelong love of creativity and learning.

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...
