Childcare
Optional childcare is available from 7:30AM.
Immersed in English in a
safe environment
Children are encouraged to explore their environment, develop self-help skills, and learn cooperation and the ability to share. They will make great developmental strides during this time as they mature socially, cognitively and emotionally. Activities are planned in accordance with each child's developmental stage, with older and younger children divided into Play Young and Play Old classes to help support their individual needs. Every effort is made to create a curriculum that energetic, growing children can enjoy.
Brings out the maximum potential
in children
Many of our students will also begin their first steps towards toilet-training in our supportive, nurturing environment. Parents and teachers work together to provide the best possible foundation for success. "I can do it!" is the motto for our classes.

1 or 2 days
a week
Preplay is our class for children ages 1 to 2 who are ready to be introduced to a classroom environment away from their parents. Age appropriate activities and supervised free play with classmates and teachers encourage children to relax and enjoy school. Preplay is combined in the same classroom as Playschool Young students so that when they are ready to move on to the longer school day of Playschool, they will already know their classmates and teachers!
