Preschool Discovery
A project-based classroom where geometry, botany, and dramatic play grow out of the questions children bring in.
About the Preschool Discovery Curriculum
Between 3.5 and 4.5 years children begin to plan, predict, and negotiate. Preschool Discovery gives them the tools to test those ideas: measuring equipment, a working botany bench, a construction zone, and a dramatic play corner that changes with whatever the group is currently investigating.
Core Curriculum Pillars
- Hands-On Geometry:Shape, symmetry, and pattern through blocks, tiles, and mirrors.
- Botanical Science:Planting, watering, measuring, and recording growth week by week.
- Dramatic Roleplay:Shops, clinics, and kitchens that build negotiation and narrative.

How We Document Growth
Educators record how a child plans, revises, and collaborates rather than what they can recite. Those notes guide the next round of provocations offered to the group.
- Daily photo and routine updates in the parent app
- Individual learning portfolio with documented projects
- Quarterly family-development conference
- Shared transition goals before moving into Kindergarten Prep

What Communication Looks Like in Preschool Discovery
Families receive project documentation showing how an idea developed over several weeks, along with the questions their child asked and the friendships forming around the work.

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.
