Pre-Kindergarten

Bush School

Whole-body experiences, especially those in natural environments, open up our senses and cognitive function in ways that learning indoors cannot achieve.

We take full advantage of our unique position adjoining Lake Claremont to offer an authentic nature play programme, including Bush School and Bush Art.

Student-centred learning

We merge the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, a globally recognised curriculum, with the student-centred, experiential principles of the Reggio Emilia approach.

Our ELC teachers observe each child's play, listen to their questions and discover what interests them, then create opportunities to explore their passions. Each child develops the foundations for pre-literacy and pre-numeracy, while uncovering the world around them.

We teach music, every day

Music education is essential in developing flexible, focused and skilled minds, and it starts with our youngest students.

Our Music Every Day programme recognises the fascinating links between music, memory and the brain, and is delivered by our specialist teachers.

Language learning

As an International Baccalaureate school, we nurture students with a global outlook.

This begins in Pre-Kindergarten when the brain is very receptive to learning languages with our students learning French.

Tailored support

We regularly assess your son's or daughter's skills in a range of areas to help us tailor their learning programme.

All children are also screened by our Speech Pathologist and Occupational Therapist, so we can identify early any underlying issues that may need attention.

Flexi-day programmes

We are very flexible. You choose the days your child attends our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten programmes.* You can choose two, three, four or five days for your child to attend.**

While we always attempt to accommodate families' preferences as much as possible, please note that all enrolments are dependent upon class availability.
