This approach allows each child to explore their own bodily capabilities while fostering various developmental areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sensory-Motor Development<br \/>\n<\/strong>A wide range of age-appropriate muscle toning activities held in a safe environment helps infants to properly develop their gross and fine motor skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Language and Cognitive Growth<br \/>\n<\/strong>Cognition is the ability to think, learn and remember. Your newborn\u2019s brain is rapidly making sense of the world through each interaction with our sensitive infant educators. At ELFA, we understand the importance of bilingualism. That is why our infant educators attentively expose our infants to both English and Mandarin. Through listening and absorbing the basic and distinct sounds of these languages, children build the foundation for speech.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creative Stimulation through the Senses<br \/>\n<\/strong>The five senses are engaged in a specially-designed environment that utilises colours, play tools, textures and sounds. By discovering cause-and-effect through play, your child develops a sense of creativity, inquisitiveness and exploration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Social and Emotional Connection<br \/>\n<\/strong>Our infant educators respond to infants in ways that foster healthy development, both socially and emotionally. Through responsive and interactive communication, infants learn various moods, gestures and emotions cues as their personality develops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><div id=\"attachment_3649\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3649\" class=\"lazyload size-fusion-1200 wp-image-3649\" src=\"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-1200x800.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%27800%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201200%20800%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%27800%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kindling-early-curiosity-through-storytelling.jpg 1344w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3649\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kindling early curiosity through storytelling<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-xlarge button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-span-yes fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/hougang\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">WANT TO KNOW HOW YOUR CHILD CAN GAIN MORE FROM ELFA?
