The Curro Advantage: Holistic Development Through ELDAs

As a proud member of the esteemed Curro school group, our children benefit from a meticulously crafted programme that prioritises their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. This unique approach to early childhood development is built around the transformative Early Learning and Development Areas (ELDAs).

The ELDAs focus on nurturing broad developmental areas rather than rigid milestones, empowering children to feel supported and encouraged. This means your child can flourish at their own pace, free from the pressure of conforming to someone else's timeline. Our days are filled with joyful play and creative exploration, with passionate teachers and their assistants expertly guiding activities to ensure every ELDA area is actively engaged.

Our comprehensive learning and development areas include:

• Identity and Belonging: Cultivating personality, fostering friendships, and encouraging sharing.
• Physical Well-being: Enhancing balance, promoting movement, and teaching safety awareness.
• Communication: Developing speech, active listening, and comprehensive understanding.
• Creativity: Inspiring through imaginative play, drawing, painting, dancing, and storytelling.
• Mathematics: Introducing fundamental concepts like shapes, size, time, and counting.
• Learning About the World: Encouraging exploration and understanding of their surroundings.

Nurturing Environments & Imaginative Play

Every child thrives with individual attention and nurturing care. That's why our classes are strategically divided by age, and we maintain carefully controlled class sizes. As part of the Curro school group, our dedicated teachers are supported by one or more assistants, depending on the age group and class size. This optimal teacher-to-child ratio ensures that each child receives the personalised care and attention they need to flourish, feel loved, and build confidence.

We understand that the development of curiosity and imagination in early childhood is crucial for building future problem-solving skills and critical thinking. Therefore, at the heart of our excellent preschool programme is the encouragement of "loose-parts play." Instead of single-purpose toys, we provide multi-purpose playthings that spark boundless imagination. Through loose-parts play, our children naturally explore previously undiscovered fascinations such such as stacking, rolling, sliding, fitting, colours, and so much more, all while developing essential cognitive skills.

Engaging Days, Extramural Adventures & Future Pathways

Our daily programme is thoughtfully designed and brimming with a diverse array of physical and cognitive activities where children learn joyfully through play. Beyond our core curriculum, we offer an exciting selection of additional, optional extramural activities. These provide wonderful opportunities to strengthen focused areas or hone specific skills.

Our captivating extramural activities are facilitated by experienced external tutors or coaches, taking place conveniently on the school premises at an additional cost. As a leading preschool in Century City, Cape Town, these activities are tailored to align with the diverse interests of our families, ensuring your child can grow and excel in areas they genuinely enjoy. There’s truly something to pique every child’s interest!

As a valued part of the Curro school group, our learners enjoy preferential consideration when applying to any of our group's primary schools. Nearby Curro schools with preschool phases include Curro Burgundy, Curro Academy Sandown, Curro Brackenfell, Curro Durbanville, Curro Rosen Castle, and Meridian Pinehurst.

We meticulously accommodate a wide range of allergies and dietary requirements; for severe conditions, we may request a medical letter to ensure our kitchen staff can provide the safest and most accurate nutritional support for your child.

Dedicated Attention in Every Classroom

Our learning environments are thoughtfully designed to foster individual growth. Classes are carefully divided by age, and each features a dedicated teacher supported by one or more assistants. This generous staff-to-child ratio ensures that every child receives the personalized care and attention they need to thrive and fully benefit from our enriching preschool programme. We provide even greater support for our youngest learners and babies, with additional assistants dedicated to their unique developmental needs.

Safety First: Professional Care and Clear Policies

Children are naturally active, and while they joyfully run, play, climb, and explore, minor bumps and scrapes can sometimes occur. You can rest assured knowing that all our teachers are comprehensively trained in first aid, ready to respond with calm competence. Please note, in adherence to national regulations, teachers are prohibited from dispensing any medication, including over-the-counter or herbal remedies, without a valid prescription signed by a medical doctor. Should your child require medication during school hours, our designated first-aid officers will administer it in class only upon presentation of a valid prescription.
