Education method

Free playing is one of the best ways preschoolers learn and develop social competence.

Play stimulates brain growth and enhances early development. At miniDalton, in addition to structured free play sessions, we encourage children to explore and engage all their senses through messy play. Here, children are given much freedom and encouraged to try different materials for different results.

Sensory Development

Our Playgroup offers children the opportunity to learn and understand the world through their five senses.

While children investigate and explore different objects, they connect and understand the world through their senses. Our aim of sensory activities is to support children’s cognitive development and motivate them to be curious explorers.
