<H2>Building on foundations</H2>

	<P>Children are at the Pre-logical Thinking Stage during their kindergarten years, and we aim to help them fully develop four important abilities : Observation, Assumption, Logical Thinking and Mother Tongue.

	</P> 

	<P>Here at NWIS we consider Kindergarten to be a place where children are preparing for Elementary School, so it is vital that they can acquire the necessary skills to enter this next stage of their educational career. This approach is the norm in Western culture, and we believe it will greatly benefit children's lives. 

	Students in the kindergarten program at NWIS will learn basic Mathematics, reading & writing in English, pattern recognition, prediction and more.

	</P>

	<P>When children graduate from our Kindergarten class, we hope they leave feeling confident, intellectually curious, physically fit and aware of how they affect the people and environment that they inhabit.

	</P> 

	<P>Here is an example of some themes and topics that our preschool & kindergarten students learn and discover in a year:
