The purpose of kindergarten free play is to provide young children with an opportunity to explore, create, and develop important skills through unstructured play. Free play in kindergarten allows children to engage in activities of their own choosing, without specific rules or guidelines, and encourages them to use their imagination and creativity.
MORNING DHIKR
The purpose of Islamic morning dhikr (remembrance of God) is to start the day with a spiritual connection to Allah and to seek His blessings and guidance throughout the day. Dhikr is an important practice in Islam, and it involves the repetitive recitation or remembrance of the names of Allah or certain phrases from the Quran.
ARABIC CLASS
Arabic is the language in which the Quran, the holy book of Islam, was revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. By learning Arabic, children can directly understand and appreciate the original text of the Quran. It allows them to have a deeper connection with their faith and a more profound understanding of Islamic teachings.
The prayers performed by Muslims, known as Salah, involve recitation of specific verses from the Quran in Arabic. Learning Arabic enables children to recite the prayers with comprehension and meaning, enhancing their spiritual experience during prayer.
LUNCH TIME
Lunch provides an opportunity for kindergarteners to receive essential nutrients and energy to support their growth and development. A balanced and nutritious meal can contribute to their overall health, cognitive function, and physical activity throughout the day.
When children have a nutritious lunch, they are more likely to maintain stable blood sugar levels, which can positively impact their ability to concentrate and engage in learning activities. Proper nourishment can enhance their cognitive abilities and help them stay focused during the school day.

Japanese is the primary language spoken in Japan. By learning Japanese, children can effectively communicate with their peers, teachers, and others in their daily lives. It enhances their ability to express themselves clearly and engage in meaningful conversations, and also for Japanese residence it is important for the future academic purposes.
ART AND CRAFT
Kindergarten-aged children learn art and craft for several important reasons:
Art and craft activities involve using small muscles in the hands and fingers, which helps young children develop their fine motor skills. These skills are crucial for tasks like writing, tying shoelaces, and buttoning clothes.
Art allows children to explore their creativity and express themselves in a visual and tactile manner. Through art and craft activities, children can experiment with different materials, colors, and shapes, fostering their imagination and originality.
Art and craft activities involve problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking. Children learn to make choices about materials, colors, and designs, which enhances their cognitive abilities. They also learn to follow instructions and develop spatial awareness while working on various projects.
Art and craft activities provide sensory experiences that engage multiple senses. Children explore different textures, shapes, and sizes, which helps them develop their sensory perception and understanding of the world around them.
Art can be a powerful tool for emotional expression. Through art and craft activities, children can communicate their feelings and emotions, even if they don’t have the words to express them verbally. Additionally, collaborative art projects encourage teamwork, cooperation, and sharing, promoting social skills and positive interactions with peers.
Engaging in art and craft activities helps children build confidence in their abilities. As they create and complete projects, they experience a sense of accomplishment and develop a positive self-image. This boost in self-esteem can have a positive impact on other areas of their lives as well.
Overall, art and craft activities in kindergarten provide a holistic learning experience that combines creativity, cognitive development, sensory exploration, emotional expression, and social interactions. These activities play a vital role in supporting children’s overall development and preparing them for future academic and personal growth.
ENGLISH CLASS
Kindergarten children often learn English for several reasons:
English is widely considered the global language of communication. It is spoken by a large number of people around the world and is used in various professional and social contexts. Starting English education at a young age can help children develop proficiency in this language, giving them an advantage later in life.
Learning a second language, such as English, at a young age has been shown to have cognitive benefits. It helps children develop their problem-solving skills, memory, and creativity. Early exposure to multiple languages can enhance their overall cognitive development.
English is often the medium of instruction in many educational systems. By starting English education in kindergarten, children become familiar with the language and acquire basic skills, which can facilitate their academic progress in later grades.
Learning English opens up opportunities for children to interact with a wider range of people, both locally and globally. It helps them develop communication and social skills, fostering cross-cultural understanding and enabling them to connect with people from different backgrounds.
In today’s interconnected world, proficiency in English is highly valued in various fields, such as business, science, technology, and academia. Starting English education early gives children a head start in developing language skills that can benefit them in their future careers.
SNACK TIME
First and foremost, snack time (and lunch time) keep the children nourished and their energy levels regulated for the activities that they will participate in. Many social, emotional, and cognitive skills are also honed and strengthened while enjoying a well-balanced meal or snack.
STORY TIME
Story Time can be one of the most impactful learning experiences a child could have, in part because they naturally make sense of their world through both story and play. Story Time encourages skills like language and literacy, plus cognitive development and social-emotional growth, too.
