Sensory-Motor Development<\/h2>\n

ELFA’s programme provides a safe and stimulating environment for infants to explore their five senses while developing their gross and fine motor skills. Our story-based curriculum offers age-appropriate piquant lessons, activities, and resources to encourage exploration, experimentation, and discovery. Infants can perfect their fundamental motor skills during interactive lessons while gaining self-confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Language and Cognitive Growth<\/h2>\n

Cognition is the ability to think, learn and remember. Children build the foundation for speech and language through listening and absorbing the basic and distinct sounds of the words. Your newborn\u2019s brain rapidly makes sense of the world through interacting with our sensitive educators. That is why at ELFA, we proactively expose our infants to bilingualism from a young age.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Preschool<\/span><\/div>

Creative Stimulation through the Senses<\/h2>\n

Your newborn’s five senses will actively be engaged in ELFA’s specially-designed environment that utilises colours, play tools, textures and sounds. By discovering cause-and-effect through play, your curious child develops a sense of creativity, inquisitiveness and exploration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Toddler<\/span><\/div>

Social and Emotional Connection<\/h2>\n

ELFA’s educators respond to infants in ways that foster healthy development, both socially and emotionally. Through responsive and interactive communication, infants learn about various moods, gestures and emotions as their personality develops.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
