The Ascension Kindergarten clinched the “Distinction Award”!

The Ascension Kindergarten clinched the “Distinction Award”!
 
The teachers of Nursery 1 team created a child-centred project based on a sensory-rich environment known as “Discovery Arts Empire”.
 
The entire classroom area was transformed into a home-like environment where the children are engaged in sensorial activities. The emphasis is on exploration with visual, audio, tactile and aromatic materials. The essence of “learning by discovering” is the winning formula for the success of this project.
