Some more about the fine preschool Maloney which I visited a few years ago. Preschools in Trinidad is over three years and in preparing the children for primary school.
The children come to school at 9:00 and goes home 14.30. Every day, some 90 kids get a good start in life. They learn the alphabet, word formation, and also to form simple sentences. They learn to count. They are taught to draw and paint, and then talk about what they have created. Obviously, there is room for play and other fun stuff. Yep, it's very loud just as it should be when the children run around and play.
I had a lot of fun in Maloney and it would be fun to go back there sometime to see how it looks now.
