Our exceptional preschool in Boksburg is dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood development for children aged 4 to 5 years.

Far beyond simple childcare, we support your child's holistic well-being, ensuring their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth flourishes every single day.

A Holistic Approach to Early Learning: The ELDA Advantage

As a proud member of the esteemed Curro school group, we offer a distinctive educational approach built around the Early Learning and Development Areas (ELDAs). This innovative framework focuses on broad developmental areas rather than rigid milestones, creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where children can develop at their own unique pace, free from unnecessary pressure.

Our comprehensive ELDA framework encompasses vital aspects of your child's growth:

• Identity and Belonging: Cultivating personality, fostering friendships, and encouraging the joy of sharing.
• Physical Well-being: Enhancing balance, coordination, movement, and promoting essential safety awareness.
• Communication: Developing articulate speech, active listening skills, and comprehensive understanding.
• Creativity: Unleashing imagination through playful exploration, drawing, painting, and dancing.
• Mathematics: Introducing fundamental concepts like shapes, size, time, and confident counting.
• Learning About the World: Inspiring curiosity to explore, understand, and connect with their environment.

Curious to delve deeper into the transformative power of our ELDA approach? Visit our dedicated ELDA page to discover how these areas synergistically create a truly high-quality preschool experience for your child.

Personalised Care in Nurturing Classrooms

We understand that young children thrive with individual attention and a loving touch. That’s why our classrooms are thoughtfully divided by age, and we maintain carefully controlled class sizes, typically between 20 to 25 children, depending on the age group. To further ensure optimal care, our dedicated teachers are often supported by assistants, a benefit of being part of the Curro school group.

This balanced teacher-to-child ratio ensures that your child receives the personalised care and attention they need to truly flourish, feel loved, and build confidence in their early learning journey.

Transparent Communication and Meaningful Insights

Our passionate teachers forge strong, meaningful relationships with each child, allowing them to intimately understand your child’s individual adjustments and progress. We believe in transparent communication, providing you with valuable insights into their development.

• At the end of each term, you will receive a detailed adjustment or progress report, with opportunities for one-on-one sessions if needed.
• Every day, your child’s activities, meals, drinks, naps, and emotional state are meticulously recorded in a communication book, sent home daily to keep you fully informed.

Seamless Progression to Primary School

Choosing Curro Parkdene for your preschooler offers a significant advantage for their future educational path. As part of the extensive Curro school group, our learners enjoy priority placement when applying from any school within the group. Even better, children from our preschool automatically progress to our on-campus primary school, ensuring a smooth, stress-free transition into their next learning phase.

Dynamic Daily Programme & Enriching Extramural Activities

Our daily programme is a vibrant tapestry of physical and cognitive activities, designed to ensure children learn through joyful play. We believe in active exploration and hands-on discovery, making every moment a learning opportunity.

Beyond our core curriculum, we offer an exciting array of optional extramural activities. These additional opportunities, often led by external tutors or coaches on school premises (at an additional cost), are designed to strengthen specific areas or hone particular skills. Tailored to pique your child's unique interests and talents, these activities ensure they can grow and excel in areas they truly enjoy. From creative arts to movement and more, your child is sure to find something that sparks their passion!

At Curro Parkdene, we believe in laying a powerful foundation for lifelong learning. Our exceptional preschool in Boksburg is dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood development for children aged 3 to 5 years. We ignite inherent curiosity and a love for play through our internally developed programme, ensuring holistic well-being and optimal growth in a nurturing and stimulating environment.

Designed for Busy Families: Convenience and Peace of Mind

We understand the demands on working parents. That’s why Curro Parkdene is thoughtfully designed to support your family’s unique rhythm:

• Extended Holiday Care: Unlike traditional schools, our preschool remains open during most school holidays, offering a full, engaging holiday-care programme at no additional cost. We only close for a specified period during December and January, ensuring your child always has a safe and enriching place to be.
• Early Morning Welcome: To accommodate challenging commutes, our doors open early. Children are warmly welcomed by our dedicated teachers and assistants, enjoying free play as they gently transition into the day before our stimulating preschool programme begins.
• Flexible Attendance Options: We offer both half-day and full-day options with unique fee structures. Rest assured, the core early childhood development activities primarily take place in the morning, meaning your child will not miss out on vital learning if you choose the half-day option. Afternoon activities continue to be developmental in nature, providing continuous enrichment.

Nourishing Minds and Bodies: Wholesome Meals Prepared On-Site

Your child’s nutrition is paramount. Our school fees include freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, and snacks, all made with care in our modern, on-site kitchen. Meals are delivered promptly to classrooms for timely enjoyment. We meticulously accommodate allergies and other dietary requirements, and may request a medical letter for severe cases to ensure our kitchen staff can correctly interpret and prepare safe, delicious food for your little one.

Dedicated Educators and Individualised Attention

Our classes are thoughtfully divided by age, ensuring that learning is perfectly tailored to each developmental stage. Every lead teacher is supported by experienced assistants, guaranteeing that your child receives the personalised care and focused attention they need to thrive. This dedicated support system allows each child to optimally benefit from our comprehensive preschool programme, fostering confidence and a love for learning.

Safety and Well-being: Our Foremost Priority

At Curro Parkdene, we encourage children to wholeheartedly run, play, climb, and jump – embracing the joy of childhood! While minor bumps and bruises are a natural part of active play, your child's safety is always our priority:

• First Aid Certified Staff: All our teachers are thoroughly trained in first aid, ready to respond to any minor incidents with expertise and care.
• Strict Medicine Policy: Please note 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. Our trained first-aid officers will only administer prescribed medication in class when a valid doctor’s prescription is provided, ensuring your child’s health and safety are protected at all times.
