Curriculum
A “Gauteng Education” curriculum is followed.  The standard daily programme comprises of a morning ring, daily tabletop activities to develop fine-motor skills, promote creativity and independence, outside play, gross-motor play, music rings, story time, perceptual work and woodwork.  Each week there is a new theme, and daily discussions, activities and artwork revolve around that theme.   There is a heavy concentration on developing the large muscles, as we have found a huge need for children to be more active.  Two reports are handed out throughout the year.  There are parent/teacher meetings twice a year and Eye, Ear and Speech tests are performed.  The teachers go on workshops to keep up to date with new teaching methods.

Extra Activities
There is a Parent’s Evening and an annual Fun Day.  We also have a Friday Assembly where the children sing the National Anthem, and each class sings a song in front to the school.  A concert is performed towards the end of the year.  Puppet shows and other forms of entertainment are included in the fees.  A Carol’s Evening is held at the end of the year.

2 and a half to 5 years of age.  Grade 0000, Grade 000, Grade 00. In Grade 0000, the children must turn 3 within the first 6 months of the year:  Birthdays Jan. – June.

Hours
School hours are from 7h30 – 13h00.  There is a teacher on duty from 7:00am for early drop-off, and the rest of the teachers go on duty at 7h30.  Government holidays and terms are followed (4 terms.)  Although we do not offer an aftercare service, our full-day working parents make use of a very reliable bus service to pick up their children and drop them directly at home.
