Pre-Primary
At Care Bears Wonderland, we believe the foundation years of pre-school are so important for our children. From our Toddler class to Grade RR, our lessons are planned to perfection making sure all learning needs are met through a holistic and academic approach while making sure children grow in independence and finding their passion in learning through play and fun activities. We appreciate and understand that all children are unique and special in their own way, finding their safe space in learning inside or outside the classroom. We teach the CAPS and ELDAS curriculum at age-appropriate level, which enhances and covers language and literacy, social development, numeracy skills, sensory learning through play, as well as Gross and Fine motor skills. Our learning is done in our amazing classrooms that are all CCTV monitored with Aircon’s that create an exciting environment that is equipped with many educational toys creating a safe space to learn and have fun. We rotate our subjects on a monthly or every 2nd weekly basis covering the learning theme. Every Class has a childminder that assists the teacher throughout the day making sure our children’s needs are met and cared for.
