Grade R

Grade R is the start of the foundation phase and forms the foundation of your child’s further education. In addition to the curriculum, we aim to ensure that children feel safe, are happy, and develop as unique little people as they learn through play. Our daily schedule includes fun learning activities to improve their skills and readiness, whilst making memories for life. There are also frequent outings and special guests to entertain and thrill the children. Need advice on selecting a preschool? Click Here! Need advice on health school lunches? Click Here!
