Curro Midrand Sagewood Preschool | Noordwyk

Welcome to Curro Midrand Sagewood Preschool: Where Curiosity Flourishes and Learning is a Joy!

Nestled in the heart of Noordwyk, Midrand, Curro Midrand Sagewood Preschool offers an exceptional early childhood development experience for children from 4 years to Grade R (and from 3 years in 2025). We are dedicated to providing a nurturing, stimulating, and high-quality educational environment where young minds embark on their exciting journey of discovery.

Our thoughtfully designed classes are age-appropriately structured, with carefully controlled numbers to ensure each child receives personalized attention, nurturing care, and engaging experiences. We understand the demands of modern family life, which is why we offer convenient early drop-off times and reliable school transport services across the wider Midrand area, providing peace of mind for busy parents.

Our Philosophy: Learning Through Play

At the core of our internally developed preschool programme is a profound understanding of how young minds thrive: through joyful discovery and purposeful play. We believe that the most profound learning happens through active exploration, where concepts are absorbed faster and more efficiently compared to traditional, rigid learning environments. Our unique play-based philosophy ensures children feel supported and encouraged, rather than anxious or pressured to conform to external paces.

As a proud member of the esteemed Curro school group, our programme is meticulously designed to nurture every aspect of your child's development – physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. From the earliest explorations of squishy pasta and vibrant jelly that engage touch and taste, to young toddlers mastering foundational mathematical concepts with building blocks and balls, and older children developing pre-reading and writing skills through drawing, painting, and thematic discovery – every activity is a step towards comprehensive learning.

Holistic Development Through Play

Our comprehensive approach ensures development across key areas, all integrated naturally through engaging play:

• Mathematics: Exploring shapes, size, time, counting, adding, and subtracting.
• Communication: Fostering speech, active listening, emergent reading, and comprehension.
• Creativity: Encouraging drawing, painting, correct pencil grip, and expressive movement through dance.
• Physical Well-being: Developing balance, coordination, movement skills, and understanding safety.
• Identity and Belonging: Nurturing personality, morals, caring attitudes, friendship, and sharing.

Preparing for Grade 1 and Beyond

We lay the essential foundations that prepare your child for the formal learning journey that begins in Grade 1. Our curriculum focuses on critical early literacy and numeracy skills, ensuring a smooth transition:

• Language: Developing reading, spelling, comprehension, speaking, and listening abilities.
• Mathematics: Mastering counting, number understanding, addition, subtraction, and early multiplication.
• Life Skills: Incorporating physical education, real-life experiences, problem-solving, and creative thinking.

All instruction is conducted in English, providing a strong linguistic foundation. Furthermore, we proudly offer Robotics as an exciting subject, fostering early computational thinking and problem-solving skills in our young learners.

The Curro Advantage: Seamless Progression and Support

Being part of the extensive Curro school group offers unparalleled advantages. Our learners receive preferential consideration for admission from other Curro schools, and enjoy a seamless progression path to our closely affiliated Curro Midrand Halfway Gardens, ensuring continuity in their educational journey.

As part of the broader Curro network, we are one of many outstanding preschools in the region, including Curro Bryanston, Curro Douglasdale, Curro Fourways, Curro Rivonia, Curro Thatchfield, Curro Waterfall, and The King’s School Linbro Park, offering parents a wide range of quality educational choices.

Enriching Extramural Activities

Our dynamic daily programme is thoughtfully curated, brimming with a rich variety of physical and cognitive activities that ensure children are constantly playing and learning. Beyond the core curriculum, we offer a diverse range of optional extramural activities. Led by passionate external tutors and coaches right here on our premises (at an additional cost), these activities provide exciting opportunities for your child to explore new interests, strengthen specific skills, and discover hidden talents.

Tailored to the evolving interests of our Noordwyk, Midrand families, our extramurals ensure your child can truly thrive and excel in areas they genuinely love.

Flexible Learning Options to Suit Your Family

Understanding that every family has a unique rhythm, we offer both half-day and full-day enrolment options. While each option has a distinct fee structure, rest assured that the foundational early childhood development activities are primarily conducted in the morning. This ensures that your child will fully benefit from our core learning programme even with a half-day schedule. Afternoon activities remain wonderfully developmental, offering continued opportunities for growth and exploration.

Convenient Early Drop-off for Busy Parents

We understand the demands of a challenging commute for working parents. That's why our doors open early in the morning, providing a convenient early drop-off service. Your child will be warmly welcomed by our dedicated teachers or teacher’s assistants, enjoying a period of engaging free play before the structured preschool programme begins, ensuring a smooth and happy start to their day.

Uninterrupted Care: Our Holiday Programme

At our Noordwyk, Midrand preschool, we recognise that school holidays can present unique challenges for working parents. To support your family, we proudly remain open during most school holidays, offering a comprehensive holiday-care programme at no additional cost. Your child's early childhood development journey continues seamlessly, often enriched with extra fun activities and themed experiences. Please note, we are closed only for a specified period over the festive season in December and January.

Wholesome Nutrition: Fresh Meals Included

Your child's well-being is paramount, and that includes providing delicious, nutritious meals. Our school fees encompass a balanced breakfast, a hearty lunch, and a wholesome afternoon snack. All meals are freshly prepared daily in our sparkling on-site kitchen and delivered directly to classrooms. We meticulously cater to allergies and various dietary requirements; for severe conditions, we may request a medical letter to ensure the safest and most appropriate care.

Dedicated School Transport Service

For added convenience, we offer a reliable school transport service covering the Midrand area. Options for both one-way and return journeys are available. Please note that this premium service is offered at an additional cost, with full details provided in our comprehensive fees letter.

Nurturing Environments: Optimal Class Sizes and Dedicated Staff

We believe in fostering an environment where every child thrives. Our classes are thoughtfully divided by age group, ensuring age-appropriate learning and socialisation. Each lead teacher is supported by one or more dedicated assistants, with ratios adjusted based on group size and specific needs. This commitment to optimal staffing guarantees that every child receives the individualised care, attention, and support necessary to flourish and fully benefit from our enriching preschool programme.

Prioritising Safety: First Aid and Medicine Policy

Children are naturally energetic, and while they joyfully run, play, climb, and explore, minor bumps and scrapes can occasionally occur. Your child's safety is our top priority, which is why all our teachers are comprehensively trained in first aid. For instances where medication is required during school hours, please be aware of the following:

• National regulations strictly prohibit teachers from dispensing any medicine, including over-the-counter or herbal remedies, without a valid prescription signed by a medical doctor.
• Should your child require medication during the day, our designated first-aid officers will administer it in class only upon presentation of a valid, current prescription.
