The core curriculum at the school focuses on seven areas, which are as follows:

The management at Ambassador Kindergarten is of the view that starting STEM education during Kindergarten can help children develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills early on in their life. Early STEM skills can help in predicting a student’s academic performance later in life. Moreover, Math skills developed at a young age can help children in becoming highly confident with reading and Math.

Linguistic Skills (Arabic and French)

These activities allow children to see things from a different perspective to make amazing new realisations.

Some of these activities include outdoor play, role play, sensory play, water play etc. Free play allows students to select their play materials and direct their play, which helps them make quick decisions.

Life Skills Room

Learning life skills is an important part of early childhood education. These skills are promoted naturally by interlinking various skills with children’s activities. Some of these activities include learning to play cooperatively with other students, independent completion of tasks, and learning the fine details of life. This may include buttoning, zipping, lacing, pouring, rolling mats etc. The life skills room also has a thematic setting where students are allowed to learn conceptually through every activity.

Arts
