Kindergarten

We teach the High Reach Learning Program as part of the curriculum for children 3-5.  The curriculum has six identified key learning areas (KLAs) which will be used as the foundations for development and learning.
Each student’s developmental abilities, interests, and needs will be identified and nurtured during the process of teaching and learning.
Every student’s continuing development will be planned through structured and unstructured play- based activities.
The key learning areas will be reflected in our daily program and this will be achieved through the aid of a variety of materials and resources available in classrooms and outside classrooms.
