While we do have a planned daily schedule, it may be varied from time to time. Children generally start the morning with art work such as painting, drawing, glueing and playdough. We never underestimate the importance of play and allow plenty of time for "free play". Older group concentrates on school readiness program.
Aftercare
We offer aftercare from 12:00 to 13:30. Aftercare can be on an ad-oc basis or as a term option.
Extra Murals
Sports Stars - This is a fun program run on Mondays where various objects are used to develop fitness and refine strength, balance, coordination and other skills through gross and fine motor activities - ball skills and constructive interation with one another are emphasized.
Young Explorers - A discovery programme on Wednesdays encouraging confidence through interactive classes on science, nature, construction etc. and developing 'outisde the box' thinking.
Happy Harmonies - A music appreciation programme on Thursdays introducing children to drama, musical concepts, percussion instruments and singing.
Tech time
The school offers a 10 minute per week supervised computer slot for our older group children only. The programme usually links up with our school themes in order to cement their learning. We know how important play, tactile development and social interaction is, so computers are not the focus, but a complimentary activity.
