Stage 1
Approximately 2–5 years
Early Years and Foundation Programme
This programme introduces young children to structured learning through interactive, engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. We recognise that children develop at different rates. Admission into this stage therefore considers developmental readiness rather than age alone. Our objective is to establish a positive relationship with learning while helping children develop the foundational skills required for formal education.
