Kindergarten Prep
A confident bridge into formal school built on literacy, number sense, and everyday leadership habits.
About the Kindergarten Prep Curriculum
The year before formal school is about confidence as much as content. Kindergarten Prep builds stamina for longer tasks, comfort with independent problem solving, and the social habits — listening, waiting, asking for help — that make a first classroom feel manageable.
Core Curriculum Pillars
- Literacy Acceleration:Phonics, journalling, and daily shared reading.
- Numeracy Logic:Measurement, sorting, and real-world number problems.
- Leadership Habits:Classroom jobs, group planning, and peer mentoring.
How We Document Growth
Educators track independence, persistence, and readiness for group instruction through observed work rather than formal assessment, and share a clear picture before the school transition.
- Daily photo and routine updates in the parent app
- Individual learning portfolio with documented work samples
- Quarterly family-development conference
- School-readiness summary shared with families in the final term

Frequently Asked Questions
Ratios start at 1:3 in the infant cradle and widen gradually to 1:8 in Kindergarten Prep. Every room keeps a consistent primary educator so your child is known by name, not just supervised.
Most children settle within two to three weeks. We plan a staggered start with you, keep goodbyes short and predictable, and send a photo once your child has re-engaged with the room.
All meals and snacks are cooked fresh on campus each morning. The kitchen is fully nut-free, and we cater for allergies, halal, kosher and vegetarian diets without serving a separate meal at a separate table.
Children go outdoors every day in all but severe weather, with a minimum of 90 minutes in the forest yard. Send waterproofs and boots; we keep spare kit on site for the days you forget.
You'll get daily updates in the parent app covering meals, naps, activities and educator observations, plus a quarterly development conference and a portfolio of your child's work.
Not at all. Children join us at every point in the year, and toilet learning is something we support alongside you rather than a requirement for a place.
