PRE-SCHOOL ROOM
This room is suitable for children aged 3 - 5.
We work in a 1:8 ratio. In this room your child will explore the seven areas of learning. Where we will teach your child basic social, problem solving and language skills. These concepts will be taught through one to one or in groups with the children using techniques such as games, story telling, experimenting, art, music and play.
