Scholar Simba Pre-Kindergarten
Early Childhood Education Program for Kids Starting at 3 Years
Looking to prepare your child for kindergarten and beyond? The Scholar Simba Pre-Kindergarten program at Safari Kid provides a nurturing and engaging learning environment for children starting at 3 years. By engaging in exploration and discovery, our program encourages children to develop their skills and lays the foundation for a smooth transition from preschool into kindergarten.
Whole Child Development for Exponential Growth
Our pre-kindergarten program is designed with a whole child in mind to ensure children develop in all learning domains. With the added benefit of personalized lesson plans and peer interactions, our program creates a supportive and stimulating environment for your child to thrive.
At the heart of our early education program lies a commitment to:
- Cognitive Development: We grow pre-kindergarten students' numeracy skills through hands-on activities and STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, arts, and math) projects, foster environmental curiosity with nature excursions, and encourage critical thinking through open-ended exploration and problem-solving activities.
- Language and Literacy Development: To foster language and literacy development, we integrate purposeful reading activities, promote verbal expression through storytelling and discussions, and enhance pre-writing skills with name-writing and tracing exercises.
- Physical Development: Incorporating diverse, active play and movement into daily routines develops strength, coordination, and spatial awareness. Arts, crafts, block play, simple instruments, and sensory play provide ongoing opportunities for fine motor development.
- Social and Emotional Development: Through role-play and group discussions, children learn invaluable skills like empathy, emotional expression, and conflict resolution, establishing a strong foundation for social interactions and emotional well-being.
- Health and Care Development: We nurture children's autonomy and confidence by offering choices and emotional regulation. Our program includes nutrition guidance, nature excursions to observe plants and insects, and activities that promote curiosity and critical thinking for overall well-being.
These experiences improve children’s confidence, promote perseverance, and strengthen children’s executive function skills, which help them accomplish their goals towards kindergarten preparedness.

Guide Your Child Toward Kindergarten Readiness
Our pre-kindergarten program goes beyond traditional childcare. We offer activities to nurture your child's holistic development. We enhance language and literacy skills through CHIRP, Story Explorers, ASL, Second Language, and print recognition. Additionally, STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, arts, and math) projects, block play, manipulatives, and arts and crafts foster problem-solving, logical thinking, creativity, and fine motor skills.
Tumbling Tots and music and movement activities encourage physical development, while Global Child TEMBO Talks and dramatic play support social-emotional growth. Busy Little Paws provides sensory experiences and refines fine motor abilities. Interactive circle time, phonics, and kindergarten preparedness activities ensure a comprehensive foundation for future learning.
