Pre-Nursery

Ages 2 and above. First steps away from home: independence, self-care, and a great many new words.

Ages 2 to 3

Learning to be part of a group

Two-year-olds and above are eligible for enrolment in this section. The programme emphasises independence, self-care skills and interaction with other children.

The day balances individual and group-oriented activities to build cooperation and social skills, long before anyone mentions the word lesson.

Children still in nappies are welcome

We can help with potty training as part of the settling-in process.
