The Preparatory School is driven by a commitment to provide a
nurturing, stimulating and developmentally relevant Early Childhood Education programme.
We recognise that a comprehensive understanding of young children's developmental
benchmarks and learning characteristics, is a critical consideration in the provision of
meaningful learning experiences.
Our philosophy is based on building strong foundations that encourage the blossoming of
the 'whole person', and from which our students will invariably draw upon as life-long
learners.
Play, direct sensorial experience, physical engagement of innate curiosity, the valuing
of serendipity, and exposure to learning in a variety of ways, becomes vital.
We have in place some very explicit monitoring and assessment tools that advocate early
identification and intervention strategies, as well as, support and extension programmes.
We boast, and continually endeavour to maintain, a collaborative culture within which
children, parents and teachers are considered highly valued partners in the educational
process. Within this context, cooperation, democratic participation, shared expertise, and
an atmosphere of care and respect, are features which are actively promoted.
