Preschool · Grade 0000 to Grade 0

A joyful start to a lifetime of learning.

Our Preschool

Little hands, bright colours and plenty of wonder.

Our Preschool takes a child-centred, whole-child approach inspired by Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Charlotte Mason. Learning grows from natural curiosity, through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences in a warm, family-like setting.

We see every child as "fearfully and wonderfully made", and our team gets to know each one as an individual: what delights them, what challenges them and how they learn best.

Every child is unique

Each child is seen, valued and nurtured as an individual.
