The Dyatmika Early Years Programme extends from Playgroup, Kindergarten 1 and 2,(TKA & B) to the first year of Primary School, Class 1. It provides a thematic approach to learning where our students’ social, emotional and intellectual abilities are fostered in a safe, welcoming and beautiful environment.
Learning programmes
Our programmes use an active and hands-on approach, where creativity and inquiry lead our young students to explore their world through focussed learning experiences. Activities are developmentally appropriate and students are encouraged to ask questions and explore their world. The thematic integrated curriculum includes writing, science, social studies, art/craft, music and movement and PE.
Language
The Early Years Programme uses a holistic approach that encourages the rich development of language for young learners in both Indonesian and English.
