Preschool in Sharjah That Gets Children Ready for School
Our Pre-schooler Class gives 3–4 year olds the confidence, communication and early skills they need for a happy start at primary school.
Pre-schooler Class
A Preschool Year Full of Discovery
The preschool year is when children move from playing alongside others to learning together. In our Pre-schooler Class at Five Kids Nursery, children aged 3 to 4 explore, ask questions and build the foundations for school — all through play-based learning in the British EYFS.
Our teachers plan activities around each child’s interests, so every child is challenged and supported at the right level.
- Early reading with Jolly Phonics
- Numbers, shapes and problem-solving through play
- Speaking, listening and confidence in groups
- Independence: dressing, tidying, toileting routines
