A Nurturing Early Childhood Development Programme

Curro Bankenveld Preschool focuses on the whole child. The programme supports physical, social, emotional and cognitive development through age-appropriate activities, caring routines and meaningful play.

Children are encouraged to explore, communicate, move, create and build friendships in a safe and supportive setting. This helps them develop confidence, independence and a positive attitude towards learning.

The ELDA Framework

The preschool programme is guided by the Early Learning and Development Areas, also known as ELDAs. This framework focuses on broad developmental areas rather than placing pressure on children to reach strict milestones too early.

The ELDA approach helps each child develop naturally, while still building the skills needed for future learning.

• Identity and belonging: building confidence, friendships, sharing and social awareness
• Physical well-being: developing movement, balance, coordination and safety awareness
• Communication: encouraging speech, listening, understanding and early language skills
• Creativity: supporting imagination through drawing, painting, dancing and expressive play
• Mathematics: introducing shapes, size, time, counting and early number ideas
• Learning about the world: encouraging curiosity, discovery and understanding of everyday experiences

Learning Through Play and Discovery

Young children learn best when they are curious, active and engaged. Curro Bankenveld Preschool uses play as a powerful way to help children understand the world around them.

Through open-ended play, children explore textures, colours, movement, shapes and everyday objects. This encourages problem-solving, creativity, communication and confidence.

Loose-Parts and Imaginative Play

The preschool uses loose-parts and multi-purpose play items to encourage imagination and independent thinking. Instead of using only fixed-purpose toys, children are given opportunities to stack, roll, sort, slide, fit, build and create in different ways.

This type of play supports early innovation and helps children learn how to test ideas, solve problems and think creatively.

Individual Attention and Caring Support

Every child needs to feel safe, noticed and loved. At Curro Bankenveld Preschool, children are grouped according to age, and class sizes are carefully managed.

Classes range from 10 to 25 children, depending on the age group. Teachers are supported by one or more assistants, helping ensure that each child receives the attention, care and encouragement they need during the day.

Flexible Options for Busy Families

Curro Bankenveld Preschool understands that families have different routines and needs. The preschool offers half-day and full-day options, convenient early drop-off times and holiday care at no additional cost.

This gives parents greater flexibility while knowing their children are cared for in a safe, structured and nurturing environment.

As part of the wider Curro school group, learners may also receive preference when applying to other Curro schools, helping families plan for the next stage of their child’s education.

Optional Extramural Activities

Curro Bankenveld Preschool offers optional extramural activities on the school premises. These activities are led by selected external tutors and coaches and may carry an additional cost.

Welcome to Curro Bankenveld Preschool: Nurturing Bright Futures

Located in the heart of Reyno Ridge, Emalahleni (Bankenveld), Curro Bankenveld Preschool offers an exceptional early childhood development programme designed by Curro to lay a strong foundation for children aged 3 months to 5 years. We understand the unique needs of modern families, which is why we meticulously control class sizes, provide flexible half-day and full-day options, offer convenient early drop-off times, and include comprehensive holiday care at no additional cost. Discover how we create an enriching and supportive environment for your child's growth and learning.

Uninterrupted Care: Holiday Programmes at No Extra Cost

We recognise that working parents don't get school holidays, and finding reliable care can be a challenge. At Curro Bankenveld Preschool, your peace of mind is paramount. Our preschool remains open during school holidays, offering a full, engaging holiday-care programme at absolutely no additional cost. While our core early childhood development activities continue, we also weave in extra fun and exciting adventures to keep little minds and bodies stimulated. We are only closed for a specified period during December and January, allowing for consistent, high-quality care throughout the year.

Tailored to Your Family's Rhythm: Flexible Day Options

Every family has its own unique rhythm, and our flexible half-day and full-day options are designed to accommodate yours. While each option has its own fee structure, rest assured that the core, impactful early childhood development activities primarily take place during the morning hours. This means your child will fully benefit from our comprehensive learning programme even with a half-day option. Activities extending into the afternoon remain developmental in nature, offering continued growth and engagement.

A Gentle Start to the Day: Early Drop-off Convenience

For parents navigating challenging commutes or early work schedules, we offer the convenience of early morning drop-off. Children are greeted with warm smiles by their dedicated teachers or teacher's assistants, easing them into the day with a period of joyful free play before our structured preschool programme officially begins. It's a calm and welcoming start to their day, ensuring both parents and children feel supported.

Wholesome Nutrition: Freshly Prepared Meals

Nourishing growing bodies and minds is a priority. Our school fees include freshly prepared breakfast and lunch, expertly crafted by a trusted catering service and served directly in the classroom. We take great care to accommodate allergies and other dietary requirements, providing parents with peace of mind. For severe dietary needs, we may request a medical letter to ensure our team can accurately interpret and prepare your child's meals with the utmost care and safety.

Dedicated Educators & Personalised Attention

Our classes are thoughtfully divided by age, ensuring that the curriculum and activities are perfectly suited to each developmental stage. Crucially, every teacher is supported by one or more dedicated assistants, with the ratio carefully adjusted based on the group size and age of the children. This commitment to a low child-to-staff ratio ensures that each child receives the individual care, attention, and guidance they need to thrive and optimally benefit from our preschool programme. Younger children and babies, with their unique needs, often benefit from an even higher number of assistants.

Prioritising Safety: First Aid and Medication Policy

Children are naturally energetic explorers, and while running, playing, climbing, and jumping are vital for their development, minor bumps and bruises can sometimes occur. To ensure immediate and effective response, our dedicated teachers are comprehensively trained in first aid. Please be aware that national regulations strictly prohibit teachers from dispensing any medicine, including over-the-counter or herbal tonics, without a valid prescription signed by a medical doctor. Therefore, should your child require medication during the day, our trained first-aid officers will administer it in class only upon presentation of a valid prescription.

Stimulating Indoor Learning Environments

At Curro Bankenveld Preschool, we believe that the learning environment itself plays a crucial role in a child's development. Our classrooms are purposefully designed to be "inanimate teachers," brimming with engaging resources and inviting spaces that encourage interaction and discovery. This thoughtful design ensures that your child is continuously immersed in enriching early childhood development, even during quiet moments or social lounge time with friends.

Dynamic Outdoor Play & Exploration

Our expansive outdoor play areas are vibrant hubs of activity and adventure! Featuring exciting jungle gyms, charming playhouses, and wonderfully shaded zones for creative and sensory play, these spaces are meticulously designed to encourage robust physical activity and imaginative exploration. To further ensure a safe and inclusive environment, most of our outdoor areas are surfaced with synthetic grass, helping to prevent allergic reactions and allowing children to play freely and joyfully.
