Kindergarten at Liceo de Davao: A Joyful First Step into Lifelong Learning
The Department of Education defines Kindergarten as the compulsory and mandatory entry stage to basic education, designed to promote the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of every five-year-old learner. It is a transition period from informal to formal literacy, where children’s brains are at their most receptive, and where positive, play-based experiences lay the foundation for school readiness.
At Liceo de Davao, we embrace this national vision and enrich it with our own mission-driven approach—creating a warm, inspiring, and values-centered environment where every child’s first school experience becomes a treasured memory and a springboard for future success.
A Curriculum That Feels Like Play, But Builds for Life
Our Kindergarten program follows the DepEd MATATAG Curriculum while infusing it with Liceo’s signature blend of academic readiness, creativity, and character formation.
Children learn through play-based, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and imagination. Lessons are designed to develop:
- Foundational Literacy and Numeracy through songs, stories, and interactive games.
- Social and Emotional Skills by encouraging teamwork, empathy, and self-expression.
- Physical Development via movement, dance, and outdoor exploration.
- Values Formation rooted in respect, responsibility, and love for community.
Every activity is intentional—helping children explore, discover, and take safe risks while building the confidence to tackle formal schooling.
A Nurturing Environment for Young Minds
Our Kindergarten classrooms are bright, safe, and child-friendly, with learning corners that invite exploration. The campus offers:
- Interactive Learning Spaces for art, music, and early science.
- Outdoor Play Areas that encourage active, healthy lifestyles.
- Storytelling Nooks to cultivate a love for reading.
Teachers act as mentors and second parents, ensuring each child feels secure, valued, and celebrated.
