ABOUT US

INTRODUCTION

At Northcliff we have a long tradition of offering quality pre-school education for children from 3 to 6 years. We aim to provide a stimulating but relaxed and secure atmosphere in which a child can develop physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually - growing in confidence and self-esteem and acquiring the skills necessary for formal education.

This is achieved by learning through play and by providing well chosen educational materials and equipment, and a programme of themes suitable for the pre-school years. The programme is designed to meet the needs of the child at all stages of development so that he is well prepared to move forward to grade one.

An enthusiastic, sensitive staff helps to create a warm, loving atmosphere. Together with our superb facilities this forms an ideal building block in your child's pre-primary education. Our motto is "learning is fun".

PROGRAMME

Group-differentiated approach: While children are placed in their age-related groups, classroom management and structure caters for the individual.

Individualised emphasis: It is our belief that each child be allowed to develop at his own pace. Within each class group, smaller developmental groups are identified. This caters for each child being given input appropriate to his stage and rate of development.

Classroom application: The nature of the classroom and its activity is dynamic, active and fluid. While some organisational structure exists, the child moves constructively from one activity to the next. Each activity provides the relevant expression and enhancement of his particular needs.

Grade 0: Within the pre-school year a recognised Grade R programme is followed.
