Art
Children learn in many different ways, and younger children may not be ready to express themselves thoroughly with language. Art activities and art education in kindergarten and beyond are extremely important. Art is part of the human experience, and kindergarteners may enjoy looking at art, producing art, and expressing themselves through art projects.
Art gives each individual student a means for expressing themself. She/he may not yet be able to write a story about how they feel, but a kindergartener may draw a happy picture, paint a sad picture, and choose colors and lines that express moods and emotions. Each work of art creates a sense of achievement and personal expression in the artist.

Special Events
Birthdays are the most exciting event in a young child’s life. Christmas ,Halloween and many other regional evenst can also be spectacular and interesting. Of course, we as parents and educators celebrate our children getting “bigger” and all of their accomplishments, large and small, even though sometimes we would like to slow the process down just a little bit and keep them “little” as long as we can.
Science
Young children are naturally curious and inquisitive, always delighted to explore the world around them. The main role of the science curriculum in kindergarten is to support and encourage this curiosity.
children learn about plants and animals and explore the weather and seasons. Teachers use simple science experiments to introduce children to the process of scientific inquiry. Reception classes are now capable of remembering more information and using it to make connections between things.
Korean
Knowing a second language is worth always given the global nature of today’s life. It becomes more meaningful life skill when you are living in Korea where people love thiere language as much as they love Kimchi.
In addition, there are many benefits for the brain. When a child learns a second language, it not only activates the components of the brain that are responsible for verbal and written communication, but it also activates the areas of the brain that are directly responsible for reasoning, thinking, and numeric understanding.
