SOI International Preschool

🌿👣 Through this Nature Sensory Walk, children explored different natural textures using their feet and senses. As they walked across leaves, stones, bark, sand, and clay, they observed how each material felt different and shared their thoughts and reactions with friends.

Each step invited children to slow down, notice details, and connect with nature using their senses.

🐞🦋 Exploring the Hidden World of Insects 🌿

This week, the children became little nature investigators as they explored an insect discovery tray filled with soil, bark, leaves, magnifying glasses, and familiar rainy-season insects. They explored, observed, and shared their discoveries while following their curiosity about the natural world.

By closely examining insects such as snails, ladybugs, caterpillars, grasshoppers, bees, and dragonflies, the children strengthened their observation skills, attention to detail, vocabulary development. The use of real photographs alongside hands-on exploration helped children connect symbols and images to real-world experiences.

Learning is fun, and children remember concepts more effectively when they are actively engaged. Hands-on experiences make learning feel like play.✨

Flower paint exploration isn't about the final product, but the rich, sensory process. From picking petals to grinding and adding water, every step is an invitation to slow down, notice, and connect.

Watching the children use the mortar and pestles outdoors showed such deep presence and focus. These repetitive, mindful actions are so powerful for grounding energy, fostering emotional calmness, and supporting self-regulation.🌷

Moving indoors with their handmade pigments, that quiet concentration continued with every intentional brushstroke. A beautiful reminder of how nature teaches us to be truly present. ✨

Through water play, the children sent numbers and objects along flowing paths, discovering how movement, balance, and water can connect in playful ways.✨

They practised early maths skills, coordination, and teamwork by calling out which numbers would slide down with the water, selecting the numbers they had been asked for, and counting how many beads travelled down the path.

With every guess, every number they called out, and every object they counted, curiosity turned into joy — and play became a meaningful discovery 🌈

The children explored “rain in a jar” through a hands-on science activity inspired by the rainy season 🌧️

Using ice and coloured water, the children observed how temperature changes can create tiny water droplets and mist, just like rain clouds forming in the sky.

As they touched the cold ice, watched the water change, and shared their own ideas, the children were developing early scientific thinking, observation skills, curiosity, and sensory awareness while making meaningful connections to the natural world around them ☁️💧

🌧️✨ HELLO RAIN PLAYGROUP ✨🌧️

Let the rainy season become a space for wonder, play, and discovery together 🌿💧

Children will explore rain-inspired science, sensory play, nature exploration, and dessert making through hands-on experiences in our gentle Reggio-inspired environment.

Today, the children explored light, water, and reflection through hands-on sensory play using torches, water trays, and recycled CDs ✨💧

As the light moved across the water and shiny surfaces, the children observed changing colours, reflections, movement, and patterns. Through curiosity-led exploration, they were developing early scientific thinking, concentration, observation skills, and language while discovering how light can reflect and change in different ways.

Moments like these support children in slowing down, wondering, experimenting, and learning through real experiences and play.

The children explored letters through hands-on matching and movement play using loose parts and natural materials 🌿

As they searched, compared, and connected the letters together, they were building early literacy skills, visual recognition, concentration, and problem-solving through playful discovery ✨

The activity also supported communication, turn-taking, and confidence as the children shared ideas and learned together within the learning space 🤝

Soi International Preschool is now welcoming children aged 2–6 years old into our gentle, play-based learning community. ✨

We believe children learn best through hands-on experiences, exploration, creativity, and meaningful connections.

Our environment is inspired by the EYFS and Reggio Emilia approach, where children are encouraged to think, create, wonder, and grow at their own pace.
