At the Laiser Hill Kindergarten we believe passionately in the benefits of structured and
focused education which must be delivered in a safe, caring and open environment, where
each child is given opportunity to develop his/her own personality in a confident manner.
We understand that boys and girls do have different learning styles and that they do arrive
at school with very different social, fine and gross motor skills. However, taking into account
the strength of both the boys and girls in our care, we craft a way forward to optimize each
child’s potential. We are confident that our school setting, environment and professionality
develops our young kindergarten pupils into young learners ready to explore and challenge
themselves in the next phase of their education. Laiser Hill Academy- Kindergarten offers ‘Competency Based Developed’ progra recommended by the Kenyan curriculum.

 The well-structured and vast infrastructure provides ample space for a child to grow and develop and this makes Laiser Hill Academy a Extra Ordinary, unique and ideal learning environment. The nursery school is housed on a
large campus wherein the safety, healthy eating, overall wellbeing and hygienic standards
are given top priority.

TEACHING PEDAGOGY

Providing a happy, and safe learning environment is central to the learning experience at
Laiser Hill Academy -Kindergarten. The school offers a unique blend of traditional and the
Montessori style of teaching which focuses on child centered and individualized learning
patterns and styles. With a clear understanding of new developments in teaching pedagogy,
the school ensures that children receive the very best learning opportunity.  It is the school’s ethos that Learning must be fun and above all build the child’s self-esteem,
self -awareness and self- confidence.

 Children are taught in small groups, have access to sporting facilities. Swimming Art & Craft, Music, Drama, and Dance are a compulsory part of
a well-structured daily routine which nurtures the child and recognizes that children must
retain their inherent curiosity to learn. Classes begin at 8.30m and end at 12.30. The children are given a healthy mid-morning
break in addition to a well-balanced cooked mid-day meal with a fruit before they are taken home at 2.00pm. Transport is provided within the environs of Ongata Rongai. ( Details for
the transport arrangements will be given to each individual applicant upon admission
enquiry)

Play Group- Baby Class

“If you want your children to be intelligent read them fairy tales. If you want them to be
more intelligent read them more fairy tales”. Albert Einstein.

The Child at this age group is starting to interacting with people who are different from their
mother, father or siblings.

 Developing healthy relationships begins with a safe exposure at
this stage. Social skills , learning to play with other children and forming new relationships is
central to the learning experience in this age group. Story-telling, playing, learning the initial
communication skills all form part of the skills gained at this stage. It is clearly understood
that children who are well adjusted and who are given this opportunity do better in PP! and
PP2 and thereby realizing their potential. Attending a play group- baby class, though not a
compulsory part of school is strongly recommended and advised. Starting early in a flexible
learning environment is highly beneficially to the young learner. We call this the first stage
of developing strong ‘Strong Social Intelligence’.
