Our age groups & activities

Age groups & activities

Six age groups from four months to nine years, and the nine stations they move through together.

How it works

Age groups and stations

We do not give our groups invented class names — they are simply age groups. The space itself is open rather than divided into closed rooms, and it is organised into nine stations, each set up for a different kind of activity. Each age group moves through the day together, from station to station, with its own routine and its own learning goals.

4 months – 1 year 2 months

Infants

Our youngest group. Gentle, predictable routines built around each baby's own feeding and sleeping rhythm, with sensory play, tummy time, music and plenty of being held. Nappy changes, feeds and naps are all logged to the parent app as they happen.

  • Sensory baskets and treasure play
  • Tummy time, rolling and first steps
  • Songs and rhymes in Arabic and English

1 year 3 months – 2 years

Toddlers

The stage where independence begins. Practical-life activities — pouring, sorting, tidying, dressing — sit alongside roleplay in the pretending station, messy play and the first structured group times of the day.

  • Practical-life and self-care skills
  • Roleplay and imaginative play
  • First mark-making and messy play

2 – 3 years

Juniors

Children start working with others rather than alongside them. Shapes, colours and numbers arrive through floor games and whole-body movement, the first Quran memorisation begins, and Arabic and English become part of the daily routine.

  • Early numeracy through Montessori materials
  • First Quran memorisation and Arabic letters
  • Sports and gymnastics sessions

3 – 4 years

Seniors

Where school readiness takes shape. Jolly Phonics introduces the 42 letter sounds, writing readiness is practised daily, and children rehearse the routines of a school day — listening, taking turns, finishing what they started.

  • Jolly Phonics: sounds, blending, segmenting
  • Pencil control, scissor skills and writing
  • Quran, Arabic, English and French

After school

For school-age children who need somewhere warm to land at the end of the day. Homework supervision, Quran, time in the garden, art, music and free play — plus a hot meal and a snack.

  • Supervised homework
  • Quran, art, garden time and music

Our nine stations

What a Super Kidz day is made of

Nine stations, and every age group moves through them. They rotate through the week around a monthly theme, which is published to parents in advance through the app.

The Montessori corner, with low wooden shelves of Montessori materials along the windows

Montessori Class

Self-directed work with Montessori materials on low open shelves — the heart of the morning, and where a child chooses their own work and sees it through.

The reading corner: wall-mounted book shelves, beanbags and a Dr. Seuss reading quote

Reading corner

Wall shelves a child can reach, beanbags to sink into and books in three languages — where children become readers long before they can read.

The story-telling corner, with its canopy tent, cushion and baskets of story books

Story-telling

A canopy tent and a cushion, and a teacher with a story. Listening, predicting, retelling — and the daily Quran and language time that sits alongside it.

The art corner with its chalkboard wall reading ‘Every child is an artist’

Art Station

Open-ended art under a chalkboard wall that says it plainly: every child is an artist. Painting, collage, clay and mess that builds confidence.

The pretending corner with a play kitchen, workbench, doll’s cot and low tables

Pretending

Practical-life play — cooking, shopping, caring, fixing — where real concepts and real language get rehearsed before they are ever named.

The LEGO corner, with the LEGO wall, building sets on open shelves and a work table

LEGO

Building, balancing and problem-solving in a station dedicated to it, with sets sized for every age group in the nursery.

The puzzles and free-play corner, with puzzle boxes and games on low open shelving

Puzzles & free play

Puzzles, sorting and table games on open shelves, plus the free-play time when children choose for themselves what the next half hour looks like.

The dining area with its round table, child-height chairs and high chairs

Dining Area

Three home-cooked meals a day at a table sized for children — and the pouring, serving, waiting and tidying that come with them.

The garden with artificial grass, swings, ride-on cars and a climbing frame with a slide

Garden

Ride-ons, slide, swings and climbing on soft artificial grass every single day — plus caring for plants, watering and watching things grow week to week.

Through the whole day

Woven through the stations

Some things are not a station of their own — they run through all nine, every day, wherever the group happens to be.

A child choosing a book from the baskets under the reading canopy

Quran

Daily memorisation and recitation, pitched to each age group and continuing through the after-school programme.

The story wall, with its reading quote and book shelves

Arabic, English & French

Three languages through songs, stories, greetings and everyday instructions — never as separate lessons.

A gymnastics session on the play mat with one of the teachers

Sports & gymnastics

Structured gross-motor sessions — balance, climbing, coordination and simple gymnastics — alongside daily music and movement.

The main room with number and hopscotch floor mats

Shapes, colours & numbers

Early maths met through floor games and whole-body movement, not worksheets.

The whole group together on the rug at circle time

Group & circle time

Where the whole age group comes together — songs, news, stories and the 7 Habits of a Happy Kid.

A visiting doctor examining a child during the weekly health check

Health & nutrition

Three home-cooked meals daily, a weekly doctor’s visit and a speech therapist on hand.

Breaks & camps

Spring, summer and winter programmes

We stay open through the spring, summer and winter breaks with themed camp programmes — the same familiar nine stations and faces, and a looser timetable.

  • Themed weeks with art, music, water play, cooking and other fun.
  • Pool day every Thursday in summer.
  • Open to children who do not normally attend Super Kidz during term.
  • More time in the garden.
