Pre-Kindergarten

During this time, the children are invited to explore their world, formulate thoughts, share ideas and construct meaning through play. Learning may occur inside or outside, with explorations even extending into the shared pod spaces. Educators carefully observe the children in order to incorporate each child's interest and ideas into the learning experiences designed by our expert faculty.

Each morning, the children begin their day together. This is a moment to create a community of learners as each child develops social and communication skills. The children sing songs, listen to stories, discuss their ideas and feelings while building on the ongoing learning occurring in the group.

As a Preschool that embraces "The 100 Languages of Children," specialised learning is a valued centerpiece to each child's learning journey. During music, children create connections between their ongoing interests and sounds, dances, and rhythms. In sports, the children balance, run, and jump. Through the language of art, children craft their ideas into tangible, visual products.

This is an oppurtunity for children to take a break and regain energy for the afternoon. The Preschool recognises that each child has specific needs during rest time and will try to accommodate individual requirements to the best of our ability.

After a morning of learning and shared experiences, this final reflection provides children with the opportunity to internalise their experiences with support and guidance from our trained educators. This final moment of the day also allows for children to come together one last time, building the sense of community valued by the school.
