At Camberley Preschool, our children are exposed to a myriad of activities that support the development of both their fine and gross motor skills. Besides regular outdoor play, our preschools are equipped with their very own spacious indoor play area where children can practice their locomotor and manipulative skills through the likes of running, jumping, skipping, hopping, throwing, catching and kicking. Our children also work on their fine motor skills through classroom activities that encourage tearing, folding, cutting, threading, drawing
