The Kindergarten teacher knows well that the child learns from everything that surrounds them in their environment. Therefore the teacher’s task is to create an environment worthy of the child’s powers of unquestioning imitation. Special care is taken to create a play environment which is beautiful, unhurried and secure. There is rhythm and balance in daily and weekly plans, and through the teacher’s guidance, a healthy mix of active pursuits such as circle games, and more receptive, quiet activities such as drawing, painting and listening to stories. Children can experience the pleasure of solitary play and the rewards of being part of the group. Children develop their ability to concentrate, focus and think creatively when they are given opportunities to participate fully in their play activity. Experience has shown that children are well prepared for primary school by the foundation that our early childhood programs provide. To enter full-time Kindergarten a child should reach five years of age before the 31st December in the year of entry. For entry into the Prep program, a child usually turns six before the 31st December in the year of entry. To be eligible to enter Class 1, a child will usually turn seven by the end of the Class 1 year.Early Childhood Fees (as PDF or Word document).
