THE CHRYSALIS PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN 4 – 5 YEARS OF AGE:
Children of this age are active learners with a need and desire to communicate and interact with others.
The Chrysalis program is based on the belief that children’s minds are constantly engaged in the search for deeper understanding of the world around them. Building on this natural curiosity and creativity, the Chrysalis program uses captivating short and long-term theme projects that are developed from the children’s experiences and areas of interest. Project work gives children an early experience of knowing and understanding a topic in depth and this experience is highly rewarding for young children.
The Chrysalis Program is planned and led by qualified and experienced Vietnamese teachers trained in Early Childhood Education. Each group size is limited to 16 students with 2 teachers. Teacher to student ratio is 1 teacher to 8 students. [1:8]
