Early childhood classes are educational programs designed for young children, typically from birth to around age 8. These classes focus on:

  • Cognitive development: introducing basic concepts like numbers, letters, shapes, and colors.

  • Social and emotional skills: teaching cooperation, sharing, empathy, and self-regulation.

  • Language development: expanding vocabulary, listening, and communication skills through storytelling, songs, and conversations.

  • Physical development: improving motor skills through play, movement, and hands-on activities.

  • Creative expression: encouraging imagination through art, music, and role-playing.

These classes are often play-based, providing a safe, nurturing environment that supports holistic development and prepares children for formal schooling.
