Overview

Nurturing language and social skills

Hugo House's early-years programme provides a safe, nurturing space that gives children the chance to develop their language and social skills – key abilities for learning well in the future.

Numbers, space, size and shape are the building blocks of our pre-school maths. Children explore the world through colouring, drawing, building and modelling; we place special emphasis on physical education and music so every child has a rich, balanced, all-round experience.

Bilingual programme

Building an English foundation – opening up the future

In an increasingly open world, a foreign language is not just a skill but a bridge that lets children explore knowledge and connect with the world with confidence. That is why at Hugo House, English is woven into children's learning in a natural, familiar way.

With 70% of learning time in English, children are exposed to and develop all four skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing – and use English regularly and naturally.

  • Physical development: outdoor activities every day (30 minutes).
  • Aesthetic development: art, crafts and creativity.
  • Cognitive development: early maths, science and fun experiments.
  • Social skills: communication, cooperation and teamwork.
  • Language development: growing vocabulary and the ability to listen, speak and express ideas in English.

The Bilingual programme follows the Cambridge curriculum, giving children a systematic learning path. Children develop language reflexes naturally, and step by step build confidence in communicating, flexible thinking and a solid foundation.

Hugo House – where first words are sown, a love of language is nurtured, and children grow up in an open world.
