There are 3 curriculum divisions for 4, 5 and 6 age groups. We offer you a few examples so you can make an informed decision whether you would like to put your child through this Academy. We aim to keep your expenses as low as possible for material you require like pencil, crayons, puzzles, skipping rope, paper, ball, books, etc., by supplying as much as possible on paper that you can print and cut-out.

Welcome to a sneak peek of our Age 5 "Bridge Year" curriculum. At this age, your child is moving from playing to purposeful learning. Below is a sample of how we use the Snuffels Story Universe to build the skills they need for Grade R and beyond.
Sample 1:
Literacy (The "Sound Detective" Game)
The Goal: Moving from just listening to identifying letter sounds.
The Activity: The parent says, "I spy with my little eye, something on your body starting with the /b/ sound." (Answer: Belly, Back, Bottom).
Explain: We teach sounds first, not letter names. This is the secret to easier reading later on.
Sample 2:
Numeracy (The "Number Hunt")
The Goal: Understanding that a number (like 5) represents a real quantity.
The Activity: Give the child a small basket. Ask them to find exactly 5 natural items outside (5 stones, 5 leaves, 5 sticks). Then, have them arrange the items from smallest to largest.
Explain: This builds "Number Sense"—the ability to visualize quantities rather than just reciting 1 to 10 by rote.
Sample 3:
Life Skills (The "Emotion Weather" Chart)
The Goal: Emotional regulation and self-awareness.
The Activity: Ask the child, "What is your 'Inside Weather' today?" Are you sunny (happy), cloudy (tired), or stormy (angry)? Have them draw a picture of their weather.
Explain: At 5, children are learning to name big feelings. This activity reduces tantrums by giving them a vocabulary for their emotions.
Sample 4:
Life Skills The Finger-Path Challenge
Skill Focus: Visual Tracking & Fine Motor Control (Essential for Writing)
The Activity: In our books, Snuffels goes on many adventures. Before a child can hold a pencil correctly, they must master the "Finger-Path." This helps their eyes learn to follow a line—the same way we read a book!
Ask your child: "Can you use your 'pointer finger' to follow the red ladder on the fire truck from the bottom all the way to the top?"
Now, ask them: "Can you find Snuffels' tail and draw a circle around it in the air with your finger?"
Explain: When a child uses their finger to 'find' and 'trace' objects, they are training their brain to coordinate what the eye sees with what the hand does. This is the foundation of handwriting!
Sample 5:
It builds focus and attention to detail, which helps when they start learning to distinguish between similar letters like b and d.
The Snuffels Learning Triple-Threat
The Snuffels Learning Triple-Threat
Every lesson in our Academy follows the same successful formula that children love:
WATCH: An engaging Snuffels video that sets the theme.
READ: A Snuffels storybook that builds vocabulary and imagination.
DO: A hands-on activity (like the Finger-Path or a Nature Hunt) that turns the story into a real-life skill.
