Our Approach

Adapted from the Pyramid of Learning (developed by occupational therapist Kathleen Taylor and special educator Maryann Trott), we go back to the fundamentals of how children learn: Their foundations support higher-order skills.

At AKIDS Explorer EIP, we adopt a progressive curriculum approach: following the upward flow of the pyramid, your children would first learn to process sensory information and develop sensorimotor skills. This supports their perceptual motor development which includes hand-eye coordination and postural adjustment. These skills then enable children to engage in social relationships and academic learning.

As a holistic early intervention programme, we emphasise the development of physical, cognitive, communicative, social and adaptive skills through fun and sustainable programmes.
