Tue–Fri

🎨 Artwork Days

Mini creative projects tied to the week's theme. Each piece goes home at the end of the day.

🏓 Outdoor Play

Bikes on the paving area and free play in the grassy jungle corner — fresh air every day.

Bubbles, dress-up, educational toys, face painting, and drawing — imagination runs wild.
