OBJECTIVES

PSB education aims for the development of individuals. It seeks to nurture learners’ potentials with the end goal of helping develop abilities and attitudes necessary for nation building and global citizenship while appreciating their cultural heritage.

Kindergarten

The Preschool Department is designed to respond the needs of preschool-aged children in preparation for formal education. It aims to cultivate their God-given potentials. It exposes them to activities where they experience the joy of playing, learning, working and living with others. Moreover, it gives them interesting and challenging learning experiences to help them acquire the fundamental skills needed for the formal level of education. The program emphasizes the mastery of the reading, writing and numeracy skills in the context of play and fun. Each pupil is expected to demonstrate

• the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in English and in Filipino;
