'Identity' component of the program explores and highlights the following topics:
Emotions
Teaching children how to identify their emotions is one of the most important life skills that can be taught. Children will begin to understand, self-regulate and manage their own emotions, as they learn positive ways to express their feelings and show empathy towards others.
Role Play
Exploring aspects of role play in a safe environment as children use language and engage in imaginary play to create roles, scripts and ideas. Role play develops creative thinkers in a fun and interactive environment as they learn to cooperate with others whilst developing social skills.
Times of Change
Supporting and assisting every child to achieve key milestones in areas which include Physical, Social, Emotional, Cognitive and Language development. The Abacus Kindergarten & Learning Centre program has been developed to cater for children of all age groups which prepares them for the transitions between rooms (Nursery to Early Learners and Early Learners to Preschool) within our Centre. In addition, preparing the children for their biggest milestone, the transition from preschool to kindergarten.
