“Children busy themselves in their chosen play and are totally engaged and active participants in their own learning. They are entranced as they imagine they are superheroes. Children pretend to climb walls and make believe they are spinning webs with their fingers.”

Immersed in the learning zone
An environment designed to intrigue, inspire and challenge
With added emphasis on independence, self confidence and choice, our Pre-school children are immersed in the learning zone – a multitude of zones, to be more precise.
In an environment designed to intrigue, inspire and challenge, a structure of distinct and defined ‘zones’ are available to the children, enabling them to choose areas, activities and topics that hold the most appeal.
The zones include; Science & Nature, Maths, Role Play, Mark Making & Crafts, Books in the Den, Music, Sand, ICT, Small World play along with Construction & Block play.
