Early years education is a transformative and magical period in a child's life. It provides a nurturing
and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Through play,
exploration, and purposeful experiences, early years education lays the foundation for a lifelong
love of learning, social and emotional development, and a solid academic journey.
At Tender Olives School, the young learners are engaged in a remarkable journey filled with joy,
discovery, and endless possibilities.
A few things are at the core of our Early years program. We recognize the Power of Play. We
believe that Play is at the heart of early years education. It is through play that children explore,
experiment, and make sense of the world around them. Play encourages imagination, creativity,
and problem-solving skills. It fosters social interactions, cooperation, and empathy, helping
children develop vital social and emotional skills.
Holistic Development:
Our Early years program also focuses on nurturing a child's holistic development. We recognize
that children are unique individuals with diverse abilities, interests, and learning styles. By
providing a range of experiences, such as art, music, language, science, and physical activities, we

learners.
