Our
Curriculum
Did you know that, 90% of brain development takes place before the age of five, making these the most important years for adequate nutrition, support, and stimulation? At Winky Wanky ECD we believe that children deserve quality learning opportunities, well fed, and surrounded by supportive, positive adult relationships.
Our curriculum is founded on principles from the Bible. These themes are seamlessly integrated into all of our lessons and taught through the lens of children’s stories and fables. Concepts and ideas discussed during story time are reinforced through imaginative play and inquiry-based projects, where children have the space to relate stories to their personal experiences in creative ways.
Numeracy
Learning should be fun and engaging while fostering creativity. In our ECD Programme, mathematical explorations are endless and creative – bringing smiles and laughter to little faces.
Our lessons focus on
