“At the WAS Changzhou Kindergarten Forest School Summer Camp, children will enjoy a vibrant, English-immersive environment where they can make the most of the summer. It is an excellent opportunity to develop new skills, build confidence, and create wonderful memories. Join us and give your child the best possible gift for their growth!”
Kindergarten students will be engaged in a range of outdoor course activities in our forest campus with its natural environment. They will explore natural science in simulated polar, desert, rainforest and marine environments, observe the growing and nurturing of plants in a forest farm, and participate in hands-on animal observation and care to learn about different biological habits.
Kindergarten students: refine fine motor skills through engaging arts and crafts and fun ball games. Introduction to rugby and swimming fosters gross motor skills and expand the basic social and teamwork skills.
The kindergarten period is the golden stage for children’s rapid brain development. Students will be exposed to new language rules and structures in an immersive bilingual teaching environment, which helps children learn and use different languages in real-life situations through rich listening and speaking interactions, games, songs, stories, and other forms of communication, and experience the fun of communicating in different languages in a natural and interactive learning atmosphere.
