Where Little Diamonds Begin to Shine
Our Kindergarten Journey
Since 2009, Our Kindergarten has been a warm, joyful, and nurturing home for little learners — a place where every day is an adventure and curiosity leads the way. We believe early learning should be imaginative, meaningful, and grounded in experiences that build confidence, character, and a genuine love for learning.
For more than a decade, our classrooms have been vibrant worlds of play, storytelling, creativity, and hands-on discovery. With caring teachers, a safe environment, and a strong foundation in values and early academics, we nurture each child’s unique potential.
Ours is a story of laughter, learning, and limitless wonder — a journey that celebrates every milestone, every smile, and every spark of curiosity.

Teaching Approach
At Diamond Junior School , we provide a warm and inspiring space where your child can learn, play, and grow into a confident, well-rounded individual. Our fun, safe, and stimulating environment is designed to spark curiosity, build creativity, and nurture a lifelong love for learning.”
Our approach blends Montessori exploration, CBC competencies, structured routines, Christian values, and meaningful play — all aligned with our vision of inspiring every child to rise to their full God-given potential.
learn
At Diamond Junior Kindergarten, learning comes alive through thematic activities that build vocabulary and language skills. Each day features lively singing, enriching storytelling, and interactive tasks that strengthen listening and understanding. Simple computer lessons also support reading, writing, and numeracy, giving your child a modern and exciting learning experience.
play
Through creative play and group activities, we help your child to begin developing the social skills needed to succeed in later years. Learning to interact with others, to share and explore through play will inspire confidence, cooperation and independence in the future.
Grow
We encourage our children to learn and explore outside the classroom through a wide range of extracurricular activities in sports, music, art, and language, fostering their creativity, curiosity, problem-solving and decision-making abilities as they grow.
