Our Daycare and Learning Program brings care, routine, and learning into one full day rhythm. Children are not just "kept busy" here. They are cared for, guided, fed, comforted, listened to, and included in age appropriate activities and learning throughout the day.
Our morning learning hours are from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Some families join us only for the morning learning program, while others continue with childcare before or after learning hours. Families may choose Lite Care for 1 to 4 extra hours or Plus Care for 4 to 8 extra hours. Full day childcare is available from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm.
Our services include Lunch, Learning Support, Nazra Classes, Recreational activities, Access to our Library, and Reading Club. The day has a routine, but not a robotic one. Children need rhythm, comfort, play, movement, books, food, rest, and familiar faces. We try to give them all of that in a way that feels steady and kind.
The program supports children from 90 days to 12 years in a clean, safe, and well managed environment. It has been shaped with guidance from pediatricians, a child nutritionist, army trained nurses, and Canadian Early Childhood Educators. We focus on health, hygiene, emotional comfort, self help skills, and age appropriate development.
For younger children, we follow home routines as closely as possible, including feeding, bottles, naps, massage, comfort time, and hygiene care. For preschool children, the morning includes structured learning, play, language, movement, creativity, emotional regulation, and early independence.
Our infant care is built around safety, bonding, feeding routines, sleep patterns, and gentle sensory experiences. Babies are supported through tummy time, supervised movement, eye contact, babbling, smiling, rolling, sitting, crawling, and early communication. We also introduce soft picture books, sound books, familiar words, and little language moments. Bottle care, sterilizing, hygiene, and close observation are handled with extra care.
Toddlers are busy people with big feelings and tiny hands, so their day includes movement, early language, self feeding, handwashing, simple routines, stories, rhymes, outdoor play, turn taking, sharing, and gentle toilet readiness with parent support. They are also introduced to board books, picture books, and short read aloud sessions that match their attention span.
Children begin to settle into a classroom rhythm through vocabulary, listening games, colors, shapes, rhymes, sensory play, early art, pretend play, and social interaction. At this age, learning looks like naming things, asking questions, holding crayons, waiting for a turn, singing loudly, and slowly becoming more independent. Story time and library corners help children build a natural love for books.
Nursery children build early literacy, number sense, communication, emotional regulation, fine motor skills, gross motor movement, and social confidence. Learning stays active and child friendly. Age appropriate books, storytelling, picture reading, art, play, and Reading Club activities help children grow in language, imagination, and confidence.
Kindergarten focuses on school readiness, early reading, writing readiness, math concepts, language, independence, problem solving, and classroom confidence. We also prepare children for Grade 1 entrance into leading schools through structured, age appropriate practice. Library time and Reading Club support vocabulary, comprehension, attention, and a stronger reading habit.
Older children join us after school for lunch, rest, hygiene care, homework support, subject help, Nazra Classes, recreational activities, and a safe place to unwind after school. They also have access to library time and Reading Club, where they read age appropriate books, discuss stories, and build the habit of reading beyond homework. The goal is to help them finish what needs to be done, but still have space to breathe, talk, read, play, and feel at home.
For nearly two decades, we have helped children gain admission into many of Pakistan's leading primary schools. Our success comes not from burdening children with conventional tuition style preparation, but from building strong foundations in confidence, communication, literacy, problem solving, independence, and a genuine love for learning.
The Learning Program is designed by certified Early Childhood Educators and qualified teachers with experience in Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia approaches. Our curriculum blends Montessori principles, emergent learning, Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory, Vygotsky's scaffolding approach, and Pat Mackdowny's IMLS framework, enriched by Early Childhood Leadership studies from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Because every child deserves individual attention, we follow strict international student teacher ratios across all classrooms, ensuring children are supported, challenged, and encouraged at every stage of their development.
School admissions
Over nearly two decades we have helped children gain admission into many of Pakistan's leading primary schools.
Our After School Program offers both academic support and recreational learning. Children in Kindergarten to Grade 6 receive help with homework, test preparation, subject improvement, and school entry assessments.
For ages 4 to 13, children can enjoy a variety of engaging activities including reading club, arts and crafts, computer skills, physical education, life skills, educational field trips, and evening Nazra, creating a balanced experience of learning, creativity, and fun.
Seasonal camps and recreational trips give children opportunities to explore, play, learn, and experience the city beyond the classroom through structured activities and age appropriate adventures in a safe, supervised environment.
