Growing Minds, Expanding Horizons: Our Classes
Curriculum & Education
Sea Star Class
3 months – 2 years
Our Sea Star Class ensures babies and toddlers are given all the attention and care they require. We encourage indoor and outdoor exploration, play and sensory stimulation, in areas that are safe and interactive. Our teachers are fully engaged and invested is your child’s development and growth – we love being there for the milestones and special moments! A separate section for monitored naps ensures that your little one is well rested.
Rainbow Class
This class is for toddlers from 2 to 3 Years old.
By teaching, caring and being fully present, our teachers are preparing young minds for all the possibilities of a bright future. Toddlers are fuelled by an eagerness to explore and appreciate the world around them, which requires plenty of attention, stimulation and encouragement in the classroom and on the playground.
The joy of toddlers in our Rainbow Class is truly infectious, contributing to happy and colourful surroundings. These fundamental years are filled with significant milestones that will shape the way your child values themselves, as well as how they perceive and engage with the world around them.
From rhyming, music and creative projects to engaging lessons that develop literacy and language, kids learn something new every day and become more confident in themselves. At this age, toddlers start to form friendships and become more self-aware, turning into little versions of the people they have the potential to grow into. We love the role that we get to play during this stage of their development.
Sunshine Class
This class is for children between 3 – 4 Years old.
By the age of 3, children are more self-assured, independent and observant of their environment. Little ones in our Sunshine Class are easily influenced and require role models that are thoughtful, kind and driven in their actions, all qualities that our Little Phase Crèche teachers pride themselves on.
Guided by monthly themes and CAPS lesson plans, concepts are taught in interesting and memorable ways. Little ones learn through creative projects, storytelling, hands-on activities and play (both indoor and outdoor). We start off our mornings by reciting the 4 seasons in a year, the 7 days of a week, the 12 months of a year, and then colours and shapes. and then pay special individual attention to each child as they complete the morning ring guided by a teacher.
At this age, pre-schoolers start to understand what reading is, while also learning to trace letters of the alphabet, their names and shapes. Conversational speech, pretend play and group activities positively impact our learners’ social and emotional skills. We teach with patience and appreciate the memories we make at school together.
Forest Friends Class
This class is for Pre-Grade R Students from 4 –5 Year Olds.
Our Little Phase Early Pre-School programme is based on the CAPS Pre-School curriculum, and we implement monthly themes to prepare your child for their upcoming primary school education, as well as Grade R. As your child learns and expands their knowledge in various subjects, we encourage creative and independent thinking, and an appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.
Our Pre-Grade R class is led by a qualified and caring teacher. In this class, children are introduced to the fundamentals of mathematics, literacy and language, while also becoming more attuned to their own social, physical and emotional needs. At this age, little ones are still filled with curiosity and excitement, and we fuel their interest in learning so that it may be a lifelong passion.
During this formative year, social skills, decision making skills and problem-solving skills develop quickly. Our educators are attentive and will guide your child when needed, while equipping them with the skills required to explore their own capabilities and interests with confidence. Don’t worry, we still make fun a priority and enjoy plenty of play time during the school day!
