Childsplay Kindergarten Larnaca

Registration for 2019 - 2020 are open now! 

At Kindergarten Childsplay, our staff are individually chosen and assessed on their experience, qualifications, enthusiasm, dedication and especially for their love of children and are dedicated in providing the finest quality of care.

We aim to provide a very warm and welcoming environment, where all children and their families can feel confident and happy with the childcare they receive.

The children are separated into four groups being Baby, Toddler and two Pre-school rooms.  By doing this at an early stage of a child’s life, we believe that it enables the child to develop at his or her own pace whilst being with other children of the same age. 

Our aim is to help each child to reach the highest degree of independence and confidence, as well as to discover their own strengths academically and creatively, and to pave the way for them to go on and be happy and inquisitive in their next step of education.

Childsplay kindergarten works alongside Jolly Phonics programme.  Jolly Phonics is a thorough foundation for reading and writing.  It uses the synthetic phonics method of teaching the letter sounds in a way that is fun and multi-sensory.  Children learn how to use the letter sounds to read and write words.
