When visiting a LM Whitefield classroom for the first time, you might wonder what magical spell has been cast upon these children causing them to be keen on reading. Others might be confused by the children’s independence, wondering where the discipline and structure are — where these children are learning the etiquettes from. As an Education specialist I’ve heard it all, from “Play way is too free and chaotic!” or “Play way is too structured!” The Play way philosophy varies in interpretation from school to school, teacher to teacher, and parent to parent. Some kindergartens are very strict and adult controlled, and others are disorganized and anything goes. But in LM Whitefield, when done well, is a beautiful blend of freedom and structure. As always, if the Play-way method sparks your interest, I encourage you to contact us.

Joyful Parenting programme was created to engage and update parents in all matters related to their child’s upbringing. Through this programme, teachers conduct engaging sessions with parents to guide them on how to interact with preschool children effectively. These workshops also help parents tackle difficult behaviour and design activities through which children can learn through play.
Preschool children are encouraged to follow basic rules of hygiene such as hand washing and basic dental maintenance. All the toys are cleaned, sanitized and well maintained. Facilities such as bathrooms, kitchens, sleep and rest areas are regularly cleaned to make sure that children have a safe and hygienic learning environment.
The team at Little Millennium firmly believes that teachers can truly enrich a child’s preschool experience. Teachers here take the time to interact with each child individually to understand their likes and dislikes and create a personalised roadmap where children can learn at their own pace. Teachers at Little Millennium regularly attend workshops to learn about innovative methods to educate preschool children.
