View our fact sheet to get some specifics on everything your child can enjoy with us – our facilities, activities, supporting programmes, and much more! Children learn by discovering the world around them – and anything learned while playing at a young age is remembered much faster and more efficiently compared to anything learned while sitting at a table in a forced learning environment. As part of the Curro school group, our children enjoy a programme that supports their physical, social, emotional and cognitive well-being. This approach to early childhood development is built around learning and developing through play rather than strict milestones. This means that children feel supported and encouraged instead of anxious and pressured to develop at someone else’s pace. Learning during childhood starts with babies exploring their touch and taste sense while playing with squishy pasta and jelly. Young toddlers learn the basics of mathematics by playing with building blocks and moving objects around their bodies. Older toddlers learn the basics of writing and reading with comprehension by drawing, singing, and more. Here are some examples of the areas that are developed by learning through play: Mathematics: shapes, size, time, counting, adding, subtracting Communication: speech, listening, reading, understanding Creativity: drawing, painting, correct pinching of a pencil, dancing Physical well-being: balance, movement, safety Identity and belonging: personality, morals, caring, friendship, sharing As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group. Nearby preschools in the group whose children can easily move to us include Curro Bryanston, The King’s School Linbro Park, Curro Fourways, Curro Waterfall, Sharonlea Childcare and Pre-primary, Magic Beings, Curro Aurora and Curro Chartwell – all within a 20-minute drive. Children need lots of attention and nurturing. That is why our classes are divided by age, and there are no more than 20 children per class, based on age. As part of the Curro school group, our teachers also have one or more assistants in each class, depending on the age group and number of children in the class. By balancing the number of children and teachers in class, your child can get the individual care and attention they need to flourish and feel loved. Our preschool is built on a balance of values that allow learners to learn and grow into the best versions of themselves. We believe that a good education is the basis on which learners can grow to become strong leaders and responsible citizens who will make a positive change in their communities. Our value system is based on four pillars: Child-friendliness Positive discipline Christian values (ethics and morals) Creative thinking We consider these values to be practical extensions of our preschool programme. Teachers model these values and children follow suit. This is just one of the ways in which we develop the well-being of the whole child. As a preschool in Sandton, we are committed to giving your child an early childhood development that will help them grow and excel while enjoying their childhood.

We accommodate working parents with a challenging commute by opening early in the morning. Children are welcomed by their teachers or teacher’s assistants and enjoy some free play before the preschool programme starts later on. Our school fees include breakfast and lunch. These are freshly prepared in our on-site kitchen and are delivered to class in time for meal time. We also carefully accommodate allergies and other dietary requirements, although we might request a medical letter for severe dietary requirements. This is just to ensure that our kitchen staff can correctly interpret and prepare food for your child. As a preschool in Sandton, we understand that working parents don’t get school holidays, which might pose a challenge when children are at home. That is why our preschool remains open during school holidays with a full holiday-care programme at no additional cost. Early childhood development activities continue, although we may arrange some extra fun activities during this time. We are closed only for a specified period during December and January. Our classes are divided by age and each teacher has one or more assistants in class, depending on the group and the number of children. This ensures that each child gets the care and attention they need, and that they can optimally benefit from our preschool programme. Children wholeheartedly run, play, climb, and jump, which may sometimes lead to minor bumps and bruises. This is why all our teachers are trained in first aid. Please note that national regulations prohibit teachers from dispensing any medicine, even over-the-counter or herbal tonics, without a valid prescription signed by a medical doctor. Therefore, when a child needs medicine during the day, our first-aid officers dispense medicine in class only if a valid prescription is provided. Our teachers stay in touch with you daily via WhatsApp. They use this to send photos, share their daily progress, or send notifications of more general communications to look out for. This gives you further piece of mind of your child’s safety and care during the day. Children learn by interacting with the world around them. That is why our preschool classrooms themselves are considered to be inanimate teachers of sorts. They are designed to allow maximum room for play and movement while being stimulating on a visual and tactile level. By involving the classroom in the learning experience, your child is engaged in early childhood development even when simply enjoying some lounge time with their friends. Our stunning outdoor play areas include jungle gyms, playhouses, bike tracks, and more. These areas are designed to encourage physical play, and generally have synthetic grass to prevent allergic reactions.
