Curriculum Matters

We follow an eclectic model of learning which is a combination of different Educational methodologies such as CAPS; ELDAS, REGIO Emelia; Learn through play etc. Learners are assessed daily through the use of observation reports & various rubrics adjusted to suit the age of the learner.

We believe in giving each child the opportunity to shine and for this reason have partnered with various service providers including computers; dancing; play ball, net ball and swimming to help facilitate analytical and critical thinking skills combined with play and experiential learning.

We promote the 5 R’s of learning which is:

• Reading together as a daily -this can be done as family activity as well
• Rhyming, playing, talking, singing and cuddling together often
• Routines and regular times for meals, play and sleeping, which help children know what they can expect and what is expected of them
• Rewards for everyday successes, realizing that praise from those closest to a child is a very potent reward
• Relationships that are reciprocal, nurturing and enduring are the foundation of healthy child development.
