Research shows that children who attend a high quality preschool programme 3 years before Grade 1 are better prepared for school academically, socially and emotionally. 

The approach to academics in the Pre-primary phase is an informal approach. Children develop and acquire the necessary skills, knowledge, attributes and values which will promote their formal learning in a play enriched, informal and challenging learning environment where each child develops at his or her pace. To acquire the necessary attitude, values, skills and knowledge which will enhance academic learning, learning must not be seen in isolation but, integration into the total curriculum and the development of the whole child.
