All daily activities proposed – such as play, art, music and song, dance and rhythmic, story-telling and dialogue, puppetry and drama, science and observation – support the children’s sensory, motor, emotional, intellectual, social and creative development. At the age of 5-6 years, the children are introduced to pre-reading and writing.
