Ons beveel aan dat u u kind by die kleuterskool registreer 12 maande voordat u dit wil hê hulle moet bywoon.

 

Om kleuterskool te begin is 'n opwindende tyd vir die hele gesin.  Ons wil hê kinders moet selfversekerd, onafhanklik voel en 'n gevoel van nuuskierigheid hê wanneer hulle na die kleuterskool kom.

 

Om hierdie vaardighede te ontwikkel, bied ons 'n reeks sensoriese aktiwiteite en ervarings, gelei deur die statutêre raamwerk vir die Vroeëjare Grondslagfase (Vroeëjare-kurrikulum).

 

Die Kwekery is baie goed toegerus met duidelik gedefinieerde leerareas binne elke kamer.  Die leeraktiwiteite wat u kind teëkom, sal op spel gebaseer wees en op werklike ervarings gebou word.  Deur betekenisvolle kindergeïnisieerde en volwasse ondersteunde praktiese aktiwiteite, begin kinders 'n konseptuele begrip van die wêreld ontwikkel.

Familie Sleutel Persoon

Elke kind het 'n baie spesiale persoon wat saam met jou sal werk om jou kind se volle potensiaal te bereik.  

 

Saam bou ons 'n gedetailleerde leerjoernaal van u kind se voorskoolse ontwikkeling.

Huisbesoek en vestiging

Dit is belangrik dat alle ouers/versorgers en kinders gelukkig en selfversekerd voel  wanneer jy by ons aansluit.  Ons  bied die geleentheid om 'n toer deur die kwekery en 'n Huisbesoek te hê as deel van die vestigingsproses.  Voordat u kind met hul volle sessies begin, reël ons verblyf en toneelstukke en afreksessies, met tot 10 uur gratis uitsaktyd.

Vroeë Jare Grondslagfase

Hoekom het ons een?

Die EYFS-raamwerk bestaan om alle professionele persone te ondersteun wat leiding verskaf oor die beplanning van die leeraktiwiteite, waarneming en assessering van wat en hoe jou kind leer en ontwikkel.

 

Jou kind se vordering sal geassesseer word en sal werk in die rigting van die vroeë leerdoelwitte wat gestel is as die verwagte vlak om op die ouderdom van 5 te bereik.

Fees and Registration
