Preschool Education; Why wait?
The significance of early childhood learning cannot be overstated as it stands as a cornerstone in a child's developmental journey. During these formative years, a child's brain exhibits unparalleled growth, surpassing any other phase of their life. Research emphatically underscores that the initial three years witness the most profound expansion in the human brian. In this critical window, children actively cultivate essential social, emotional, and cognitive skills, setting the stage for their holistic growth.
These early years serve as the canvas upon which children begin their interactions with parents, teachers, peers, and the world at large. It;s within this period they embark on their voyage of acquiring fundamental life skills, learning to navigate emotions, and crafting cognitive pathways. To ensure these budding minds flourish, it is paramount they receive the precise nurturing and care. These formative experiences lay the bedrock for a future brimming with fulfillment, underscoring the profound impact of early childhood education.

Finding a balance between professional commitments and family life can be a complex endeavor, particularly when unforeseen emergencies arise. At SBS we empathize with these challenges. In response, we extend our community a lifeline in the form of an Emergency Daycare service.

Separation Program
Embarking on the first days of preschool can be a daunting experience, not only for the child but for parents as well, triggering a natural sense of apprehension. At SBS Tiger Cubs, our paramount objective is to alleviate the strains and uncertainties felt by both parents and children during this important phase. Our innovative approach encompasses a dedicated Separation Program, thoughtfully created to foster confidence in new surroundings and with unfamiliar faces.
In this unique program, parents are actively involved, sharing in the journey of learning and playing alongside their children. As the child grows more accustomed to the vibrant preschool environment, the level of parental involvement gradually reduces, creating a progressive transition towards independent engagement. This phased methodology strategically fosters confidence in the child’s surroundings, nurtures a rapport with or dedicated caregivers, and paves the way for seamless integration into regular school routines. At SBS Tiger Cubs, we are committed to forging a strong foundation of familiarity and trust, ensuring a harmonious journey into the world of early education.
Advantages of SBS Tiger Cubs
All of our Tiger Cubs programs focus on 6 developmental areas
BRAIN POWER
Neuroscientists tell us that when a baby is born, the brain is the most developed organ in the body. A baby's early play experiences will continue developing parts of the brain as well as activating many genes.
EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
A unique skill base that requires young children to learn to regulate their emotions, feel good about themselves, take risks and develop resilience.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
This affects how children interact with others, how they share, participate in play involving one or more children, accept rules and cooperate with peers. Often children around two years will find this a difficult stage in their development so repetition and patience is the key here.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
This is commonly known as `head to toe' development and is divided into gross motor and fine motor skills. Gross motor is the development of large muscles that control different parts of the body such as legs, arms and trunk. Ball games, bike riding, climbing, walking, swimming and running all help develop gross motor skills.
LANGUAGE and LITERACY DEVELOPMENT
Language and literacy includes verbal and print media so books posters, signs and symbols in the environment stimulate conversations. Language also includes non-verbal communication through body language, gestures and facial expressions. The development of communication therefore, requires plenty of opportunities for children to practice speech.
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
This is also called Intellectual development and this is about developing thinking and reasoning skills. The ability to remember people, names, places, songs, rhymes etc. To be able to sort, classify, estimate and concentrate. Using information in order to hypothesize, solve problems and discover new ways of doing things are all important cognitive skills that lead to scientific, mathematical and linguistic concepts later.
