Oz Education children develop early literacy and reading skills through play in areas that interest them. When they reach preschool age, we combine play-based learning with structured learning into our Advantage Preschool Program to help them prepare for formal school.
Oz Education makes use of play-based learning to nurture literacy and reading skills. Our approach engages children in interactive activities that foster a love for reading while developing essential language capabilities. Preschoolers developing literacy and reading skills is crucial for their cognitive growth. Early exposure to language, books, and reading activities lays a strong foundation for their future learning.
