Kindergarten is the crowning year of the Tutor Time journey. Children integrate everything they've learned — reading, writing, maths, science, and social-emotional skills — into a rich, challenging, and joyful programme that sends them into elementary school truly ready to lead.
The LifeSmart Curriculum at Tutor Time is inspired by the Multiple Intelligences theory of learning and education. The heart of this theory is the belief that children learn and understand in different ways. LifeSmart teachers value the variety of ways in which children learn and provide opportunities for children to develop their minds and abilities through different approaches, materials, and experiences.
