Preschool · Babies to Grade R

Welcome, little one.

A joyful, nurturing start for children from three months to six years, where warm relationships, independence and wonder come first.

A child-centred start

Curious, independent and held.

Our Montessori-inspired, whole-child approach nurtures curiosity, independence and exploration. Through sensorial learning and hands-on experiences, children grow socially, emotionally and cognitively, in a space where discovery and development go hand in hand.

Our Preschool programme lines up with what our Preparatory School expects, so children move up with confidence: high expectations, with high support.

Every child is treasured

Children need love as much as they need learning. Because we make time for relationships, emotional learning and wellness, learning goes further. We never leave the emotional tone of our classrooms to chance.

Foundations for life

Language, number sense, movement and grace and courtesy, built step by step so every child is ready for the next adventure.

Learning at the right level

Self-paced work in Maths and English, because children learn best when a task is just right: the sweet spot between boring and frustrating.

A day in the life

Busy hands, big hearts, happy days.

Each day balances focused learning, purposeful exploration and active play.

Stories and words

Storytelling, conversation and phonetic awareness grow early literacy.

Hands-on Maths

Concrete activities build number sense, problem-solving and logical thinking.

Grace and courtesy

Lessons in kindness support emotional regulation, empathy and friendships.

Art and music

Imaginative expression that grows creativity and wonder.

Outdoors and sport

Movement, play and sports sessions build coordination, balance and strength.

Practical life and faith

Food preparation, tidying and self-care build independence, and ThriveYouth introduces faith gently.
