New Pre-school Full Day Care Play-based Learning

Welcome to our Pre-School

It is with great excitement that we announce our new Pre-School! In January 2024, we will be taking up occupation of our new site which is at the former aftercare building on Howard Street. We offer a full day care service within a secure environment. The Pre-School caters for pupils aged, 3 years turning 4, as well as 4 years turning 5.

Our methodology of teaching and learning is through a play-based learning approach. Many studies reveal that through play-based learning, children ‘learn while playing’ and develop essential social and cognitive skills. This approach leads to pupils who are insightful and capable of exercising critical thinking skills.

In order to provide your young child with a solid foundation for their academic future; make sure you enrol today!
