Our Top Class (3-4 years) introduces your child to the structure of a typical kindergarten day, tailored to meet the needs of a young learner. It builds upon Toddler skills with a greater emphasis on extended seat work and Top class-level instruction in literacy, math and handwriting.
Social interactions are a big part of our program. Your child will practice taking turns, sharing, and understanding their own emotions, as well as those of their friends. These skills help to build strong friendships and good communication in our students.
We are also proud to teach our students to appreciate diversity. We invite them to celebrate and accept people who may be similar or different from themselves. This helps to build a positive and inclusive view of the world.

How we empower Our Dianthus
In Top Class (3 - 4 years old) at Sekani, we use unique teaching methods that stimulate your child’s intellectual growth. Our experienced teachers guide each child through a fascinating learning journey, making each lesson an adventure of discovery. Through our student-friendly curriculum, we equip our little scholars with a wide range of skills, preparing them for the next big step – Reception class!
As the world changes rapidly, adaptability becomes a crucial skill. Top class prepares our learners to accept new realities and manage their activities confidently. By teaching them to control their behaviour and manage mood swings, we equip them with the skills to navigate transformations without stress.
At Sekani, we focus on the physical development of our leaners by nurturing their natural curiosity. We encourage them to explore, discover, and harness their unexpected abilities. Whether it’s honing motor skills or supporting a budding interest in transportation, we provide an environment that promotes holistic physical development.
