The A.P.P.L.E Curriculum for Playgroup:
Learning Through Play, Growing with Purpose
At Little Olive Tree Preschools, we believe that children learn best when they are actively engaged in play. That’s why we’ve designed the A.P.P.L.E Curriculum – Active Play & Purposeful Learning Experiences, a hands-on, exploratory program that nurtures your child’s curiosity and love for learning.
Inspired by Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory and Lev Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, our curriculum recognizes that play is not just fun, it is essential for brain development. Through play, children experiment, explore, and make sense of the world around them. Our teachers act as facilitators, creating meaningful learning experiences and guiding children to interact confidently with their peers and adults.
A.P.P.L.E aims to stimulate all seven senses—beyond just sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch, we also develop two crucial senses that support physical awareness and coordination:
✔ Proprioception (knowing where our body is in space)
✔ Vestibular sense (balance and movement)
By integrating these elements into everyday play, children develop better coordination, focus, and confidence. Carefully curated learning environments with hands-on materials encourage children to engage in active, purposeful play, where every moment is an opportunity to grow, discover, and thrive.
With the A.P.P.L.E Curriculum, your child will not only develop academically but also build essential life skills—creativity, problem-solving, and social confidence—preparing them for a bright future!
