Preschool
We welcome children into our Pre-school programme from 2 years of age. A warm, nurturing environment helps our young students feel comfortable exploring, playing and learning.
Offering half-day or full-day sessions, our Pre-school provision offers a flexible introduction to school.
The day begins between 8.15 – 8:30 A.M when children are brought to their classroom and playground area and are greeted by their teachers and other children. Our Pre-school day ends at 12:00am. There is also an optional full-day programme for this age group.
Our Room
Our room offers a range of toys and activities appropriate for this age group. One part of the room is equipped with tabletop activities such as art and crafts, puzzles and games. It houses a book area, a home corner and a range of fine motor activities. Other parts of the rooms house art and craft materials, and a role-play area. The classroom is air-conditioned to ensure that the children are comfortable at all times.
Our outdoor play area offers children the opportunity to practise their gross motor skills whilst having fun and interacting with each other on a range of bikes, swings and climbing apparatus.
