The King’s School Nursery School | Linbro Park

The King’s School has a nursery school in Linbro Park, Sandton, that provides high-quality early childhood development for children from 4 years to Grade R. Our classes are divided by age, and we carefully control the number of children per class to ensure that they are all cared for and entertained. Our internally developed nursery school programme engages inherent curiosity and love of play, while supporting their well-being all-round. We also form part of the Curro school group, and have early drop-off times and aftercare options. Get an overview of everything we can offer you on our fact sheet. 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 Early Learning and Development Areas (ELDAs), which focus on development areas rather than strict milestones. This means that children feel supported and encouraged instead of pressured to develop at someone else’s pace. Children spend the day playing and being creative while teachers and teacher’s assistants guide them through the activities to ensure that the ELDA areas are engaged. The learning and development areas include the following: Identity and belonging: personality, friendship, sharing Physical well-being: balance, movement, safety Communication: speech, listening, understanding Creativity: playing, drawing, painting, dancing, imagination Mathematics: shapes, size, time, counting Learning about the world: exploring and understanding the world around them Do you want to know more? Visit this page on our website to discover more about the ELDAs and how they work together to give children a high-quality nursery school programme. As part of the Curro school group, learners enjoy preference when applying to us from any school in the group. Nearby schools with preschool phases include Curro Aurora, Curro Rivonia, Curro Bryanston, Curro Waterfall, Building Blocks Pre-primary, Curro Douglasdale, Curro Fourways, Curro Midrand Sagewood, Magic Beings, Sharonlea Childcare and Pre-primary, and Curro Chartwell. The development of curiosity and imagination in early childhood is vitally important to the development of problem-solving skills and critical thinking later on. Therefore, as part of our excellent nursery school programme, we encourage playing with loose-parts and multi-purpose playthings rather than single-purpose toys that don’t involve much imagination. Through loose-parts play, our children learn to use their natural curiosity to explore previously undiscovered fascinations such as stacking, rolling, sliding, fitting, colours, and more. As part of the Curro school group, our programme is presented through a daily routine that focuses on letting children learn by having lots of fun within a framework. The schedule creates space for creative activities, running and playing, singing and dancing, and so much more! This also provides children with stability and a sense of safety. See what we offer on our fact sheet. Children need lots of attention and nurturing. That is why our classes are divided by age, and we carefully control the number of children in each class, based on age. As part of the Curro school group, our teachers also have one or more assistants, 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. We help your child get ready for the formal learning that starts in Grade 1. They learn the basic foundations on which all further learning is based: Language (read, spell, understand, speak, listen) Mathematics (count, understand numbers, addition, subtraction and multiplication) Life skills (physical education, real-life experiences, problem-solving, creativity) Teaching takes place in English, and learners can even have Robotics as a subject. See what we offer on our fact sheet. When a teacher notices that a learner is having some challenges in the learning process, they reach out to our remedial specialist. The learner then receives close, personal support to overcome these challenges and happily progress along with their classmates. Contact us to arrange a tour of our stunning campus!

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. We have an aftercare service that keeps children safe until late in the afternoon, and the fees include lunch. Children remain safely in their classrooms, or on the playgrounds, until you can pick them up. We also have strict pickup protocols to ensure that only authorised individuals collect children in the afternoons. Our classes are divided by age and each teacher has one or more assistants, depending on the group and the number of children in the class. This ensures that each child gets the care and attention they need, and that they can optimally benefit from our preschool programme. There are often more assistants for the younger ones and babies, as they have needs that are unique from any other age groups. Children wholeheartedly run, play, climb, and jump, which may sometimes lead to minor bumps and bruises. This is why 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 or nurse dispense medicine in class only if a valid prescription is provided. We are closed during regular school holidays, as well as regular public holidays and long weekends. Holiday care could be arranged based on interest. View our calendar for 2023 and 2024 to discover when these holidays would be. Our teachers form close relationships with each child, which allows them to know the individual adjustment and progress of your child. At the end of each term, we issue an adjustment or progress report, and have a one-on-one with each parent. Your child’s day is also recorded in a communication book, which is sent home each day. This includes meals eaten, drinks consumed, naps taken, emotional state, and more. 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 outdoor play areas include jungle gyms, playhouses, cycle tracks, a shaded sandpit, and more. These areas are designed to encourage physical play, and generally have synthetic grass to prevent allergic reactions. Additional safety measures are taken on sunny days.
