Pine & Jacaranda Class (18 months - 3.5 years)
At this age children are beginning to
understand that they exist as individual entities separate from other people
and they are mostly ruled by their emotions. We therefore focus on providing the
child with a safe space where they will feel loved, listened to and cared for,
but that will also give them the nudge to venture into the unknown in order to
explore this new world and grow in their independence. This adventure takes place through sensorial
stimulation through engaging sensory bins, Reggio Emilia and Montessori
inspired materials, invitations to create and experiential activities, as well
as instructions through songs. Teachers expose children to literacy and numeracy through playful, sensory rich and age appropriate activities such as counting through play, sound recognition through songs and familiarization of shapes & colors through games. The timetable is structured to allow
for maximum free and guided exploration based on the theme(s) being explored. The Teacher offers the children constant
loving support, positive reinforcement and self-modelling in order to fuel
their curiosity, self-confidence and independence, as well as conducting on
going evaluations of each child to share with their parent.
All age groups visit Karura Forest once a week for a half day. Participate in yoga, gymnastics and P.E. and explore art, music and drama on a weekly basis. We practise Mindfulness as a separate subject but it is also incorporated in all aspects of our school lives.
Enrolment can be for full day or half-day.
First class is Pine. Second class is Jacaranda in Nursery.
All classes are named after trees in the school environment.
