Our Discoverers’ room is a warm and nurturing space designed for babies to feel safe, secure, and loved. The environment is calm, filled with soft textures, sensory resources, and opportunities for early exploration. Our caring educators focus on building strong bonds and supporting each baby’s individual routine, while gently encouraging their first milestones through music, movement, and sensory play.
The Adventurers’ room at Kido Elephant Park is full of curiosity and discovery. At this stage, children are developing language, and independence, so our environment is carefully set up with inviting play areas, role-play corners, and sensory-rich activities. Alongside daily songs and stories, children are introduced to French and Spanish through fun, interactive sessions, helping to spark an early love for languages. Educators support children’s natural drive to explore, while nurturing their social and emotional development through group play and shared experiences.
Our Experimenters’ room encourages children to explore new ideas, test boundaries, and develop a growing sense of independence. The space is designed for creativity, problem-solving, and imaginative play, with resources that inspire children to investigate the world around them. Educators place a strong focus on developing early communication and social skills, alongside introducing early literacy and maths concepts through playful learning. Children also enjoy STEM-inspired sessions, sparking curiosity in science and the natural world, and continue with French and Spanish lessons to build confidence in language learning.
The Pathfinders’ room is where children’s confidence and independence shine as they prepare for the transition to school. The environment offers a rich variety of learning opportunities, including early literacy and maths, STEM-based projects, and French and Spanish lessons to broaden children’s horizons. A strong emphasis is placed on school readiness, with children developing key skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and resilience, alongside confidence in reading, writing, and numeracy. Educators work closely with each child to ensure they feel fully prepared, capable, and excited for the next stage of their educational journey.
