Playgroup

Our school begins with "Little Rosebuds", our playgroup, where play and imagination are used to develop the growing enquiry of the two and a half to four year old.

Little Rosebuds creates a caring, intimate environment where the young child can feel secure yet stimulated.

A playgroup is a place where through the great teacher that is play children are free to be and grow without stress or undue influence. Around the third year of life a decisive event happens; the child begins to say “I”, and we see a marked change in the play of the child.  Imagination, this wonderful, creative force touches the child with its magic.  This imaginative play allows the child to change a simple block of wood several times in play from one thing to another as mood and fancy take him/her.

The child imitates all the movements, sounds and activities in her/his environment and makes them her/his own by way of imaginative play.  It is this vital component in the developing child that is protected, nurtured, encouraged and stimulated by the activities and routine of “Little Rosebuds”.

Under the supervision of the trained teachers, the children can enjoy activities like baking, handcrafts, drawing, gardening, picnics and walks in the country surroundings of our school.  Free imaginative play remains at the center of every day. Children may attend either three or five days a week, during school terms.
