Class
Caterpillar Class（満２歳～年少未満）
The children in the Caterpillar class are provided with a supportive and caring atmosphere to ensure a smooth transition away from home. The Caterpillar class is conducted through music, movement, games, and arts & crafts to develop fine and gross motor skills. The class encourages children to become excited about learning, develop a sense of individuality, and strengthen their ability to express themselves in English. Kids also interact with their older peers by participating in centers and lunch time.
Bumblebee Class（年少）
The supportive atmosphere at Microcosmos allows children in the Bumblebee class to develop confidence and independence. The Bumblebee class activities are rooted in personal experiences that make learning fun and meaningful to their everyday lives. Children learn early mathematical concepts which include number recognition, shapes, size, and quantification. The class also focuses on building basic grammar, phonics, and vocabulary that children can apply to their daily activities and play. The Bumblebee class aims to build a child's sense of responsibility while working together as a group.
Ladybug Class（年中）

In the Ladybug class, children enhance their literacy skills and gain various experiences through reading and writing. Math skills are strengthened by learning the basics of addition, subtraction, and identifying conceptual patterns. The Ladybugs often assist in the development of the younger children's social, motor and speaking skills.
