Each child is placed in an academic year and a classroom specific to their date of birth. This gives the children the opportunity to play and learn with children of the same peer group at their own pace. By placing them in an age specific class means that they develop friendships and in general move to the next class with some class friends.
Our classes are as follows: Tiddly Pops, Dragonflies and Transition.
