A Playground Stokes Muscles And Imaginations
Your child’s playground is an extension of the classroom, and a world of nature-inspired, hands-on learning awaits. They will:
- TEND GARDENS: Your child gets a first-hand understanding of life cycles and personal responsibility.
- USE NATURAL STRUCTURES: Wooden play structures invite your child to exercise their growing muscles.
- EXPLORE THEIR SENSES: A sandbox and mud box connect your child to their senses and natural elements.
- USE THEIR IMAGINATION: A dramatic play area is where your child creates their little world with friends.
A Deep Clean Supports Your Child’s Health
A professional-level cleaning crew regularly disinfects your child’s tools, toys, and spaces and safeguard their health. Your child’s wellbeing is a top priority because they can’t learn with the sniffles.
Your Child Is Safe And Sound
Super attentive teachers never leave your child unattended. Add limited access to entryways, and privacy fences that shield your child from onlookers, plus security cameras, and you can rest assured your child is kept safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
NOT AT ALL! Most of our parents aren’t bilingual, but many pick up many words and phrases from their children! So if you’ve ever wanted to learn German or Spanish, you get a little fringe benefit of having your child attend Kigala!
Actually, it’s the opposite. Studies show that learning 2 languages at a young age creates new neural pathways in the brain, which has all sorts of benefits, including a greater ability to focus and task switching – both critical life skills that are a huge advantage in school and future work!
The younger you start with a second (or third!) language, the easier it will be for your child, and the greater the benefits.
