The robots have arrived and are here to stay. Your mobile phone is a robot, albeit without arms and legs, and it is getting smarter every year. Within a decade, robots and artificial intelligence (AI) will be taking over and eliminating many jobs.
At Cambridge Pre-school, we recognise the need to envisage the future world that your child will live and work in. We would not know what specific skills would be needed for future jobs that do not exist in this day and age but we can prepare your child by equipping him/her with uniquely human skills that are not easily replaceable by robots, such as the ability to innovate, problem-solve and think creatively and critically.
Our Award-winning curriculum exposes your child to iSTEAM (Innovation, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) and has been designed to develop these essential future skills in fun and age-appropriate ways to prepare him/her for future success.
iSTEAM embraces the philosophy of “thinking with hands”, and consists of hands-on inquiry and open-ended exploration of interesting topics which will prepare your child for the future.
For the toddlers to Nursery 2, iSTEAM is embedded into everyday experiences through developmentally appropriate hands-on activities that are concrete and related to the world around them. By tapping on your child’s innate curiosity and sense of wonder about the world, your child will be given opportunities to explore, inquire, learn and innovate in little ways. This will set the foundation for progression into the iSTEAM curriculum at Kindergarten 1 and 2 levels.
By the time your child enters Kindergarten 1, your child would be ready to take on bigger projects that require higher cognitive skills. Our iSTEAM curriculum will enable your child to investigate, innovate, make comparisons and predictions, test out ideas and share discoveries with their peers. Extracting DNA, coding and robotics, building circuits and creating chemical reactions are just some of the exciting activities that your child will have the opportunity to experience in our iSTEAM curriculum.
