ECD II

In the Early Childhood Development (ECD) Level 2, typically designed for children aged 4.5 to 5.5 years, the curriculum builds upon the skills and knowledge acquired in previous stages while preparing children for the transition to formal schooling. Our curriculum for ECD II students is designed to support their continued growth and development across multiple domains, preparing them for a smooth transition to formal schooling while fostering a lifelong love for learning.

  1. Language Development: Continued expansion of vocabulary and language skills through storytelling, discussions, and language-rich activities. Children further develop their ability to express themselves clearly and effectively, using more complex sentence structures and language conventions.
  2. Literacy Skills: Building upon earlier literacy skills, children focus on phonics, sight word recognition, and early reading comprehension. They practice reading simple texts, decoding unfamiliar words, and comprehending basic story elements.
  3. Numeracy Skills: Continued exploration of numeracy concepts, including addition, subtraction, number patterns, and basic measurement. Children engage in hands-on activities, games, and problem-solving tasks to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
  4. Social Skills: Emphasis on building positive relationships, effective communication, and cooperation with peers and adults. Children learn to work collaboratively, resolve conflicts peacefully, and show respect for diverse perspectives and backgrounds.
  5. Emotional Regulation: Further development of emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, self-regulation, and empathy. Children learn to recognize and manage their emotions in socially appropriate ways, as well as to understand and respond to the feelings of others.
  6. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Opportunities for critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills are provided through puzzles, games, and open-ended activities. Children learn to analyze information, make informed decisions, and explore creative solutions to challenges.
  7. Fine Motor Skills: Continued refinement of fine motor skills through activities such as handwriting, drawing, cutting, and manipulating small objects. Children focus on developing precision and control in their hand movements to support academic tasks.
  8. Gross Motor Skills: Further development of gross motor skills through structured physical activities, sports, and outdoor play. Children engage in activities that promote coordination, balance, strength, and spatial awareness.
  9. Creativity and Expression: Continued encouragement of creativity and imagination through various art forms, music, drama, and role-playing activities. Children are given opportunities to express themselves creatively and explore their interests and talents.
  10. Preparation for Formal Schooling: Introduction to routines, structures, and expectations similar to those found in formal schooling settings. Children practice following instructions, transitioning between activities, and participating in classroom routines to prepare for the next stage of their educational journey.
