Preschool and Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School-readiness programs that foster independence and curiosity.
Starting school is a big step - and every parent wants their child to feel confident, happy and ready to learn. Our Preschool and Kindergarten programs are designed to build exactly that, with caring educators, inspiring learning experiences, and the structure your child needs to thrive.
Led by university-qualified teachers and experienced educators, our School Readiness Program helps children aged 3–5 grow socially, emotionally and academically - giving them a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
