We believe in inspiring and motivating children in a secure, exciting, stimulating, nurturing and loving learning environment. An environment where children are free to ask questions, explore and develop a love for learning. Where we don’t sit and listen but do and learn.
We believe that every child should have the opportunity to meet their potential and develop academic, creative, social and emotional skills that will equip them to fulfil a happy and prosperous life.
We believe in establishing good relationships between parents, children and teachers, as we all strive to create the best and safest learning environment for our children.

Your baby will enjoy a variety of daily activities suited to their personal needs and abilities. A week’s curriculum includes fine motor activities, large motor and baby aerobic exercises, baby massage, looking at books, cognitive activities and sensory activities – all appropriate to your baby’s interests and developmental stage

At this age, your child faces exciting challenges as they use their rapidly improving motor skills to move about and explore the world with abundant energy and enthusiasm. This is a time to learn how to get along with others, become independent and rapidly improve his or her language skills.
For this age group, we don’t follow a theme-based curriculum; this is because your young toddler is building their knowledge through playfully exploring his or her environment. Our curriculum for young toddlers focuses on socio-emotional and language competence, multi-sensory exploration and multiple gross-motor and fine-motor opportunities.

As recommended in the South African National ‘Birth to Four’ curriculum, we follow a weekly theme and play-based programme which covers all early learning developmental areas (wellbeing, identity and belonging, communication, mathematics, creativity and knowledge and understanding of the world).
Our themed activities extend across all developmental domains through art, music, movement, literature, science and maths. Our balanced, play-based daily programme helps your child develop the gross and fine motor physical skills they need to develop age-appropriate locomotor, stability and manipulative competence.
We encourage your toddler to form positive peer and adult relationships so that they become able to self-regulate and conform to social norms, to be empathetic and respectful to others and to tackle new challenges enthusiastically. Many of our activities help your child to develop the sensory, -perceptual and intellectual skills they need to learn and solve problems.

In this very important Reception year before Grade 1, our curriculum helps children achieve school readiness in all areas of academic and social learning. The curriculum is designed from The South African National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), but we incorporate fun and effective Montessori and Reggio teaching styles. Our focus is on building and perfecting all the foundational skills learnt in the early years.
