This morning’s Halloween celebration at OrbRom Center Preschool wasn’t only about costumes—it was purposeful play that supports language, social connection, and self-regulation. Themed days give young learners a safe reason to practice turn-taking, follow routines, and use new vocabulary with peers and teachers. For families in Phnom Penh looking for a nurturing start to school, this is the kind of fun-with-intentionality that helps children grow.
How OrbRom Center Preschool turns celebrations into learning
At OrbRom Center Preschool, events like Halloween are built around clear developmental goals. Structured stations, visual supports, and predictable sequences help children move between activities with confidence. That structure also lets teachers target fine- and gross-motor skills, early literacy, and social communication through play. If you’re curious how everyday tasks build independence, see our brief explainer on fine-motor play and independence.
Sensory comfort is central. Many children experience big feelings during special events; we plan micro-breaks, movement options, and quiet corners so everyone can participate successfully. Learn more about the benefits of a sensory room and why we integrate sensory play into daily routines.
What families can expect from OrbRom Center Preschool
Our preschool program blends evidence-based teaching with warm, child-led exploration. Teachers model and scaffold language (“first, then,” “your turn, my turn”), embed early phonological awareness in songs and rhymes, and coach social problem-solving in real time. Because we serve diverse learners, we individualize supports and track progress against developmentally appropriate milestones. For a broader view of our approach, read why early intervention matters.
Parents often ask, “Is a themed day just extra work?” Done well, it’s the opposite. Halloween motivates children to use new words, follow multi-step directions, and collaborate on shared goals (decorating, tidying, lining up for group games). Those are school-readiness skills that transfer to every week of the year. If you’re comparing options locally, here’s a quick overview of why parents choose OrbRom Preschool.
