A Time For Imitation And Play
Young children live in a rich world of play and discovery. They are completely open and deeply influenced by all that surrounds them. What they see and hear they imitate; unconscious imitation is the natural mode of learning for the Pre-School child. The still developing child absorbs everything around him. Accordingly, the nursery school is a world of harmony, beauty and warmth.
Imaginative Play
The teachers themselves, in their attitudes, feelings and actions, strive to be worthy of the children’s unquestioning imitation. In this secure and intimate environment, the children learn about themselves and their world. Their days are filled with artistic and practical work, imaginative play and fairy tales, puppetry and music, circle games and healthy outdoor play.

Simple Toys, Active Minds
Toys in the nursery are made from nature’s gifts: wood, sea shells, stones,pine cones, lamb’s wool. The simpler the toys the more active can the children’s imagination be. This prepares the ground for a fertile mind. Formal intellectual training is quite purposely excluded from the Pre-primary.
Expansive Preparation
With an active imagination, energetic physical development, and a true reverence for the world, children are best prepared for the challenges of Primary School and later life.
