The Kindergarten program at Garden Estate Academy is designed for children in Play Group, Pre-primary 1 and Pre-primary 2, following Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). Our approach centers on interactive, play-based learning that promotes cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Through engaging activities in language, math, environmental studies, and creative arts, children are encouraged to explore and think critically. With a focus on holistic growth, our experienced teachers ensure a nurturing environment where students gain confidence and build a strong foundation for future academic success. Including language, math, environmental exploration, and creative arts, we aim to nurture curiosity and critical thinking in young learners. Our caring and experienced teachers guide children in a safe and supportive environment, helping them build confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for future learning.
