When it
comes to child care, many parents look for a childcare centre that offers
physical and mental enrichment. It’s good to consider these two when looking
for a childcare centre, but it’s missing one important part of child growth
that your children will also need when they get older: appreciation of the arts.
Art
appreciation and development is just as important as excelling well in
academics and physical activities because it helps children become more
expressive and gives them an outlet where they can express their inner
feelings, making them more empathic and sympathetic towards others later in
life.
That’s
why, as a mother of a 5-year-old son, I decided to take my child to NAFA Arts Preschool,
the best
childcare in Singapore and only childcare
centre that offers extensive art
lessons for kids.
What I
love about NAFA art preschool is that they value the importance of art lessons
and strive to incorporate art appreciation and development in their curriculum.
So far, they’re the only private childcare centre I know that mixes both art
lessons and academics in their sessions.
Their
curriculum covers four kinds of art forms: music, visual, dance, and speech and
drama. Depending on how long your child’s session is, they will cover each art
form as much as possible to help your children find and develop their natural
artistic talents at an early age. Their art lessons are also very
child-friendly and are taught by NAFA’s veteran art teachers that can explain
and teach art techniques in a way your children can understand them.
As one of
the top
preschools in Singapore, NAFA
arts preschool highly values the importance of family bonding between family
members, that’s why parents are often invited to watch and appreciate their
child’s hard work in school in the form of recitals and project exhibitions.
This gets parents involved with their child’s artistic growth and
self-confidence.
I myself
have been able to attend my son’s recitals because of his passion for music.
With at least an hour of specialised art lessons every day, my son’s skill in
playing the piano has far exceeded mine when I was his age. He has done three
recitals so far and is preparing for a fourth one.
My son has
also excelled very well in his academics. He is now in his kindergarten 2 class
in NAFA arts preschool and they have been diligently preparing him for primary
school. He has shown a great interest in math and language, especially
mandarin. Thanks to the bond he has with his classmates, he has become very
confident in both this music and academic knowledge.
Entering
my child in an art-centred private
childcare in Singapore like NAFA
Arts preschool has perhaps been the best decision I’ve made for my child so
far. He has shown much potential as a kid and I’m happy that through NAFA and
their specialised art lessons he was able to tap into his artistic potential
that he can carry with him as he gets older.
If you’re looking for a childcare centre
for your children, I highly recommend NAFA Arts preschool.
