Nursery

The nursery class at MAX is for children between the ages of 1.5 and 2. At this stage, children radiate their love and curiosity for the world and take their first steps towards independence. Their minds, bodies, and senses are rapidly developing, and their agility, strength, and physical coordination require careful attention: All to get ready for the essential skills for social life.

Our Nursery Curriculum and educational environment are thoughtfully designed to cater to children’s needs. Our experienced and collaborative teachers ensure a daily rhythm tailored to help the children explore everything that kindles their curiosity and spontaneity. Through learning at MAX, our young students will be in constant touch with materials and activities that stimulate their intellectual and physical development.

Preschool Curriculum
At this stage of development, toddlers love to constantly wander around to learn and discover new things every day. We perfectly understand this and have set a daily rhythm to help them explore their interests and find new ones as they play and learn. Our nursery curriculum has a variety of daily activities for:
Building brain power through activities like sorting, counting, measuring
Building focus and memory with a read-aloud, a daily routine, stacking blocks
Developing gross motor skills by dancing to a song, rising, falling, stretching, rolling a ball
Learning about own feelings and feelings of others through puppet play and story books
Expressing ourselves by making art, playing with clay, moving to songs
Discovering the world around us by pointing, touching, and sensory play
