Grade Overview
About PP1
In PP1 children deepen the habits of learning: listening, speaking, early reading readiness, counting and creative expression. Lessons are short, active and full of play, following the KICD Pre-Primary curriculum design.
Teachers
Each class is led by a trained early-childhood teacher supported by a caregiver, ensuring every little learner gets attention, care and encouragement.

Painting, modelling, collage, music and dance encourage imagination and fine-motor development.

Children learn letter sounds, build vocabulary, retell stories and practise speaking confidently in front of others.
Numeracy Foundations
Counting, number recognition, sorting, patterns, shapes and simple measurement — all through hands-on play.
