TCG Core Disciplines 
Creative Arts
 |
At The Children’s Garden, we appreciate the fast pace of change that characterizes our world and we understand the importance of teaching children skills that will enable them to engage actively within our increasingly diverse and exciting society. Our emphasis on creative arts helps unlock each child’s personal creativity so that he or she continues to grow in social and intellectual confidence as well as lateral thinking skills – key qualities that help set children up for successful futures. |
Language Arts
|
Very young children possess a remarkable learning potential, and this is the best time to concentrate on language acquisition. A precious window of opportunity to learn several languages opens in early childhood, so it’s important to give children the right language experiences and the right encouragement, which is exactly what we do at TCG. Very young children can then develop an unbeatable foundation on which they will build their vocabulary and communication skills, learn to express themselves effectively and have a much easier time acquiring subsequent languages.
TCG Jumeira familiarizes children with at least two languages, thereby building their confidence, enriching their cultural and global awareness and putting them at a distinct advantage for when they start primary school. |

Music and Movement
 |
Music and movement play a key role in helping connections form in our brains, and it’s very much a part of every day life at TCG. Songs and dancing help children develop body awareness, while singing, movement and playing instruments encourages the children’s motor skills and innate sense of harmony and rhythm. Music is also a great medium through which to broaden our perspectives and learn about different cultures, so TCG children are exposed to a wide spectrum of musical influences and maestros. We have also produced our own CD, with the children singing songs in different languages. These are for sale at Front Desk for AED 20. |
Movement and play, too, are critical components in the healthy growth and development of any child. It’s through movement that young children explore their bodies and their environment, thereby making sense of their worlds. TCG’s physical education programme is carefully crafted to ensure that children experience a balanced variety of movement experiences. These activities help them hone their motor skills while learning to socialize and communicate with others, thereby contributing to the holistic education of each child.
Natural Science
| “Why?” This question will have a familiar ring to anyone with young children! And this is what makes it a joy to teach natural sciences to children of pre-school age. Naturally inquisitive and enthusiastic to uncover the reason behind things, this is the best time to spark an interest in the natural world. At TCG we explore topics including our world (and the people, animals and plant life in it), the environment and health, and the children learn how to care for each. Using prediction, experimentation, observation and reflection as the main pillars of science, and by creating learning opportunities from their daily lives, we encourage children to make observations, develop their own ideas and explain what they saw, to question each other and challenge their misconceptions, all in a familiar, safe environment. |  |
Mathematics
 |
The best way to teach maths is in a fun, visual and stimulating way, which is exactly what happens in TCG’s Maths Garden. The children love it as it feels more like playing than learning, and their enthusiasm helps them concentrate, which in turn helps them remember what they learn and enables them to pick up mathematical concepts much more quickly than in the classroom. Best of all, not only are children not afraid of maths, but they actually love it! |
Social Development
|
TCG adopts a holistic approach, looking at the development of the whole child. This is why, as individuals, we value their uniqueness and celebrate their particular strengths and creative abilities. Our aim is to deliver knowledge – academic, social, emotional and physical knowledge – in a creative way, inspiring young learners who are independent, understanding and tolerant. |
