K2 Curriculum

The Kindergarten 2 (K2) program is designed for children aged 5 to 6 years and serves as the final stage of early childhood education before primary school. The curriculum builds upon the foundational skills developed in Kindergarten 1 (K1), with a greater focus on academic readiness, critical thinking, problem-solving, and independence. It prepares children for formal schooling by enhancing language, numeracy, science, creativity, and social skills through a blend of play-based and structured learning.

Strengthen language and literacy skills through reading, writing, and comprehension
Develop numeracy skills with advanced counting, basic operations, and problem-solving
Foster scientific inquiry and critical thinking through exploration and experiments
Encourage creativity and imagination through art, music, storytelling, and role-playing
Improve fine and gross motor skills for writing, coordination, and physical fitness
Enhance social and emotional intelligence through teamwork, empathy, and decision-making
Build self-confidence and independence in daily tasks and learning activities
Ensure a smooth transition to primary school with structured learning experiences

Our Approach

Integrated Learning

Good Shepherd Preschool Curriculum is an integrated, hands-on curriculum. It stems from the pedagogy of experiential learning. Lesson plans are exciting and filled with opportunities to touch, make, create, fail, and try again. The spiral curriculum design explores topics that help children understand the world. Adopting Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory, the curriculum begins with the understanding of self, moving on to the immediate environment, the surrounding community, and then the world. The other emphasis of this curriculum is the building of social skills and relationships as knowledge of the world grows. The curriculum aims to make learning come alive – through head, hands and heart!

Jolly Phonics + Grammar

The whole purpose of learning phonics is to help children to read and write. That is the reason why Jolly Phonics and Grammar is adopted in our curriculum. From the learning of the phonetic sounds it leads children to blend, read and write. Words that children will spell stem from the sound that they have learned for the week. It is with the intention of helping children gain the phonetic skill instead of route learning. 

Jolly Grammar is taught through songs, Big Books and kinesthetic actions. These skills will be taught and consolidated in N2 and K1. In K2, children will move on to Jolly Grammar. They will learn writing conventions, grammar skills, alternative sounds and high frequency words which aid them in writing sentences and short paragraphs.

Thalespin

Thalespin is a locally developed Maths curriculum that bridges the skills from pre-school to primary school. It is co-developed by a local Mathematician who oversaw the writing of primary school textbooks and an Early Childhood lecturer. Thalespin is designed with lots of hands-on learning. 

Every lesson begins with a Big Book, followed by class problem-solving, individual hands-on and finally, activity sheets. Once every 5 weeks, children will get to bring home a Home Partnership to think alongside with their parents.

Literacy Based Curriculum

In the Early years, Literacy Based Curriculum is taught with the intent of building and strengthening language. Using storybook engages and draws children into the book. Concepts are taught around the themes in the book. The books are carefully chosen to ensure a good variety of themes and knowledge. 

Lessons encompass hands-on, and experiential learning to involve self-help skills learning and social skills building.
