Woodhill College Preschool | Pretoria East

Welcome to Woodhill College Preschool: Nurturing Bright Futures in Pretorius Park

At Woodhill College Preschool, located in the heart of Pretorius Park, Pretoria, we provide a stimulating and supportive environment where young minds flourish. We offer a high-quality early childhood development programme for children from 2 years (turning 3) to Grade R, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Small Classes, Individualized Attention

Our age-appropriate classes are carefully structured with a limited number of children, ensuring that each child receives the individual care, attention, and nurturing they deserve. Our dedicated teachers, often assisted by experienced aides, create a warm and engaging atmosphere where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore.

Learning Through Play: A World of Discovery

We believe that children learn best through play. Our internally developed preschool programme is designed to ignite their natural curiosity and love of play while supporting their holistic well-being. We focus on learning and developing through engaging activities, fostering a love of learning without pressure.

Through play, children develop essential skills in:

• Mathematics: Exploring shapes, sizes, time, counting, adding, and subtracting through playful activities.
• Communication: Enhancing speech, listening skills, reading readiness, and comprehension through interactive games and storytelling.
• Creativity: Expressing themselves through drawing, painting, dancing, and developing fine motor skills.
• Physical Well-being: Improving balance, coordination, movement, and developing an awareness of safety.
• Identity and Belonging: Nurturing personality, morals, caring, friendship, and sharing.

Preparing for Future Success

We gently guide your child towards formal learning, equipping them with the fundamental skills they need to thrive in Grade 1 and beyond. Our programme focuses on developing:

• Language: Reading, spelling, understanding, speaking, and listening skills.
• Mathematics: Counting, understanding numbers, addition, subtraction, and an introduction to multiplication.
• Life Skills: Physical education, real-life experiences, problem-solving abilities, and creative thinking.

Our teaching takes place in English, and we even offer Robotics as a subject to foster innovation and problem-solving skills.

Seamless Transition and Part of the Curro Family

As part of the esteemed Curro school group, our preschool children enjoy automatic progression to our primary school (and subsequently, high school), ensuring a seamless transition and continuity in their education. Being part of the Curro family also grants preference when applying from other Curro schools. Nearby preschools in our group include Curro Academy The Blyde and Curro Hazeldean.

Convenient and Enriching Options

We offer early drop-off times and aftercare to accommodate busy schedules. In addition, we provide a variety of optional extramural activities, led by external tutors and coaches on our premises (at an additional cost), allowing your child to explore their interests and talents.
