Our Little Learners
From tiny Piglets to confident Pooh Bears, we nurture every stage of your child's development with age-appropriate programs, all designed around beloved characters.
Piglet Class (3-18 months)
We provide a safe, nurturing environment, complemented by daily "How was my Day" communication books to track each developmental milestone.
Small & Big Tigger (18 months - 3 years)
Children bounce into independence, learning through play while actively developing gross motor, fine motor, and essential communication skills.
Rabbit Class (3-4 years)
This class introduces children to literacy, mathematics, and critical thinking through engaging weekly themes, including the exciting step of beginning to write their names.
Preparing for "Big School"
Eeyore Class, Pre-Grade R (4-5 years)
This crucial year prepares children for Grade R. We ensure all learners are registered on the WCED database and receive official CEMIS numbers. Our CAPS curriculum is designed to challenge them academically while also nurturing their emotional readiness for Grade R.
Weekly themes focus on Literacy, Mathematics, Life Orientation, Robotics, and Movement. Homework is introduced at this stage to further build school readiness skills.
Pooh Bear Class, Grade R (5-6 years)
This is the official first year of "Big School." We follow primary school schedules to prepare students mentally and emotionally for Grade 1.
Students who are not meeting the Term 1 milestones receive additional homework and lesson recommendations to ensure their continued success and development.
Nourishing Bodies & Minds
Fueling Growth with Fresh, Balanced Meals
We are dedicated to providing the best for our little learners. That's why we serve nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon sandwiches, all freshly prepared on-site daily. Our menus are thoughtfully crafted to introduce children to diverse, healthy foods that support their physical and cognitive development.
We understand the importance of dietary considerations and are happy to accommodate specific needs. While we provide three main meals, we kindly ask parents to supply a healthy morning snack daily to ensure continuous energy throughout the day.
