Preparing for school
Our preschool programme is carefully designed to offer children a rich variety of experiences that spark curiosity and encourage deep, meaningful learning. Through problem-solving, creativity, exploration and critical thinking, children make natural connections in their learning as they grow.
We also support children right from the moment they begin their preschool journey—not just at the end. Whether your child is transitioning up from a younger room or joining us for the first time, we help make this step feel calm, positive and secure. As they progress through preschool, we gently build up their confidence and independence, so that by the time they are approaching school, they feel ready and excited for their next chapter.
Our preschool environments help prepare children within familiar, nurturing surroundings. We focus on both social and emotional wellbeing, as well as building the key early skills that support school readiness.
Children are given plenty of opportunities to:
- grow in confidence and resilience
- develop independence
- form friendships and understand others
- learn to manage their emotions with kind, responsive support
Throughout the day, children enjoy learning through interconnected activities such as early maths, mark-making and writing, storytelling, shapes and space, dance and movement, heuristic and role play, gardening and nature exploration. This holistic approach nurtures confident, capable and curious learners.
Every preschool room is thoughtfully designed to support a smooth transition into school, helping ensure this big milestone feels exciting and familiar.
