Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything families want to know about the Pre-K programme.

What is Literacy Wonderland?⌄

Literacy Wonderland is Tutor Time's structured literacy programme — a systematic phonics and reading programme that takes children from letter sounds all the way to independent reading of simple books.

What is Math Funtastic?⌄

Math Funtastic is our hands-on maths curriculum. Children develop number sense, operations, patterns, and basic geometry through manipulatives, games, and real-world problem solving — making maths concrete before it becomes abstract.

How does Pre-K prepare children for kindergarten?⌄

Children leaving Pre-K can read simple books, write basic sentences, count and add/subtract within 10, and manage their own emotions and social interactions. They are academically and emotionally ready for kindergarten.

Is there homework in Pre-K?⌄

We provide optional home-learning activities — reading together, number games, and simple projects. These are designed to be fun family activities, never a burden.

What if my child is not yet reading by the end of Pre-K?⌄

All children develop at their own pace. Our teachers provide differentiated support and will always discuss your child's progress openly. The goal is confident, joyful literacy — not racing to a finish line.

Can Pre-K students attend Tutor Time Kindergarten the following year?⌄

Absolutely — and we encourage it. Children who complete the Pre-K to Kindergarten pathway at Tutor Time show exceptional school readiness outcomes.
