School History & Value creation

Teddy Bear Pre-Primary School was inaugurated in November 2004. It welcomed its first batch of students two months later in January 2005. Since then Teddy Bear Pre-Primary School has continuously developed into a modern school offering the best level of services to its valued customers. Today the Teddy Bear is a name in this field of Pre-Primary Education and is known as one of the best pre-primary school in the region.

Teddy Bear has, since its creation, limited its number of student so as to offer the best environment to each and every student coming to the school, whether in terms of school space area or student / teacher ratio.

Since 2005, the management of the school has implemented a curriculum that fully meets the requirements prescribed by the Ministry of Education and other relevant authorities. The programme has been designed so that they are also in line with the expectations of parents. Continuously, the school has been investing in its program by acquiring new equipment, materials, and textbooks.

In 2006 the school has setup a dedicated computer room, in addition to existing computers available in the classrooms. It has also added to its programme, a new subject - Introduction to computer studies. Through this programme, students are familiarised with the different parts of a computer such as monitor, mouse, keyboard and CPU, and are taught on how to, properly use a computer and apply the basic safety measures. Additionally through play and other educational software, students use the computers during the learning of other subjects, such as mathematics, languages (English and French), Science, Art and Social studies. They practice drawing and colouring of shapes and pictures, learning and constructing words and basic sentences, and counting numbers.

In 2007, the school had organised a memorable event - an Open Day. Students' close relatives (grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc) and the general public have had the opportunity to visit the school premises where they have been able to appreciate the creative works of our students.

In January 2009, the school has increased its surface area so as to give even more physical space to the kids. A new and fully furnished day care section has been added to the existing building area. This unit is dedicated to those less than 3 years, where they can live fantastic experiences together with their dedicated and qualified teachers.

Last but not least, in November 2009, the school has launched its website. This allows parents to directly access information about their child, such as their progress and can communicate with the school administration and teachers at a time convenient to them just by logging in their username and personal password. At the same time, other parents who wish to know more about our School have a complementary way of obtaining information and can even perform registration for their kids using our online facility.

School Curriculum

The curriculum revolves around weekly and monthly themes. These themes are integrated in the different activities conducted throughout the year. The themes and activities function as building blocks in the areas of language development, pre-reading, problem solving skills, science and early math. Their applications and outcomes are closely monitored to ensure they fulfil all the needs of our students and will prepare them for future challenges in life and be ready to move on to primary level education.
