About the Junior Program

Where Every Child
Loves to Learn

The Junior Program at Heritage International School is thrilling, most enlightening, with a plethora of fun-filled learning experiences. The Pre-Primary wing is comprised of young learners aged 2.5 years to 5 years. We offer a consistently structured routine focusing on early education which can inspire the love for learning.

We provide an environment for children to explore a sense of self, play with peers and build self-confidence. The Junior Program curriculum sets the tone for learning by kindling the inherent curiosity in young children.

At this stage, children are active and curious to explore — they love to play by engaging in activities that interest them. While the Pre-Primary program builds on pre-literacy and pre-numeracy skills, it also focuses on developing social and personal skills as well as critical and creative thinking. This is an important developmental stage that lays the foundation for lifelong learning.

Montessori Method
Child-Centred Learning

The Montessori approach at Heritage Junior places the child at the centre of their own learning. Children are given the freedom to choose their activities within a carefully prepared environment — developing independence, concentration and intrinsic motivation from the earliest age.

Montessori materials are hands-on, self-correcting and beautifully designed — making abstract concepts tangible and accessible for young learners building their first academic foundations.

Play-Way Technique
Learning Through Play

The Play-Way method recognises that play is the natural language of children — and that the most powerful learning happens through joyful, purposeful play. At Heritage, every activity is an opportunity to discover, create and connect.

From imaginative role-play and story-telling to group games, rhymes and creative construction — Play-Way activities build language, numeracy, social skills and creative thinking simultaneously and joyfully.

Development Domains

Growing in Every Direction

The Junior Program focuses simultaneously on six interconnected domains of child development — ensuring that every Heritagian enters primary school as a balanced, confident and capable young learner.

Creative Development

Art, craft, music, dance and imaginative play fuel creative expression — helping children develop a voice, a vision and the confidence to share both.

Pre-numeracy, pre-literacy, problem-solving and reasoning are built through hands-on, curiosity-driven activities that make thinking an adventure.

Linguistic Development

Story-telling, rhymes, role-play and conversation build strong oral language foundations — preparing children for confident reading and writing.

❤️

Emotional Development

Children learn to identify, express and manage their emotions in a safe, nurturing environment — developing the self-awareness and resilience they need throughout life.

🏃

Physical Development

Gross and fine motor skills are developed through movement, games, art activities and purposeful use of manipulatives — building body confidence and coordination.
