Il-Perla Kindergarten is tailored for children aged 3 to 5 years. With two classrooms, Denfil and Arzella, our setup encourages play and exploration through various resources and activities. We utilise the National Learning Outcomes Framework as a guideline for our activities. While our educators plan activities, our emphasis is on the emergent curriculum. This approach involves careful observation of children’s interests, progress, and needs, leading to dynamic, adaptable activities that promote holistic development.
Our Kinder classes aim at providing a learning experience that instils in children curiosity and a love for learning. Activities are planned based on the children’s interests and development, while guided by the Learning Outcomes Framework for children between ages 0 to 7, basically, levels 1, 2 and 3.
The above is done through play, storytelling, role play, hands-on activities related to everyday life e.g. learning opposites, hot and cold, tall and short, etc.
Children’s progress and assessments are recorded online daily, and parents have access to the written observations on a daily basis. Moreover, during parents’ individual meetings, held twice a year, each child’s educator discusses the child’s journal and development with the respective parents. The way forward for each child is mapped out together with the parents.
At Il-Perla Kindergarten, we can accommodate a maximum of 14/16 children according to their ages. Some of these spots may be allocated to children with nappies, particularly those transferring from our Centres. For new applicants who haven't utilized our services previously, it's essential that the child is toilet trained before the commencement of the scholastic year.
Parents or guardians interested in enrolling their children need to complete the official registration form, which is conveniently accessible online. This registration form remains open throughout the year, allowing parents or guardians to submit it at any time.
Once the form, along with the €40 one-time registration fee, is submitted, the child is officially placed on the school's waiting list. Admission to the Kindergarten is contingent upon the waiting list and available vacancies within the specific age group. The waiting list is managed based on the date of registration and order of priority.
Order of Priority:
Parents are contacted at the end of May for the September intake.
It's important to note that there is one intake, occurring during the last week of September, for children applying directly to the Kindergarten. Additionally, there is a second intake at the beginning of February, but this option is exclusively available for children transferring from Ilwien or It-Tajra Childcare Centre.
We appreciate your understanding of our enrolment process and look forward to welcoming your child to Il-Perla Kindergarten.
