The Creche
Genius Crest School recognises the concerns and worries of working mothers when leaving their little ones in the care of others. To address these concerns, we have created a nurturing and secure creche — a home away from home — staffed by experienced caregivers, lovingly referred to as "grandmothers", who provide tender care and attention.
Our Creche offers a warm, welcoming and stimulating environment that fosters curiosity, creativity and physical development, giving mothers peace of mind while they are away.

The Primary classes (Year 1–3) mark the initial years of primary education, building upon the foundational skills established in the nursery school. During this period, students develop their critical thinking abilities particularly in numeracy through the introduction of semi-complex and abstract concepts. The decoding method is taught and applied to solve mathematical problems.
