Early Years

Our Pre-Primary programme provides a calm, purposeful and friendly environment that has been thoughtfully designed to nurture and support your child’s growing confidence, independence and language development.

Children graduate from the Early Years programme confident, independent, and ready for Primary School. They develop strong social skills, early academic foundations, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning.

Our Learning Framework (taught in English and French)

Practical Life and Independence skills

Practical Life and Independence skills

We know that toddlers love nothing more than to do things for themselves. We enable children to be able dress themselves, pour water, clean tables and windows to share their wants and needs and develop their fine motor skills, concentration and love of order in the process.

 

Language

Language

Lots of storytelling, singing and practicing conversation skills helps our youngest children to share their ideas, name their feels and begin communicating with others.

Sensory and Motor Skills

Sensory and Motor Skills

Our Pre-Primary class is full of real-life materials that help the children to learn through using all five senses. Sensory and motor-based activities help the children to develop their spatial awareness and dexterity through the use of carefully designed Montessori materials.

Socialisation and Emotional Awareness

Socialisation and Emotional Awareness

The foundations of community are learnt in our Pre-Primary classroom. Respect for another person and their belongings, turn taking, practicing grace and courtesy and beginning to understand big emotions are all supported in this nurturing environment.

Our Learning Environment

Our purpose-built Montessori classrooms are thoughtfully designed to support independent, hands-on learning in a calm and inviting environment. Children enjoy safe outdoor play areas and gardens where they can explore nature, develop physical skills, and connect with the world around them. Creative expression is encouraged through dedicated art corners that inspire imagination and self-expression, while our communal lunch space fosters a sense of community, helping children develop social skills in a warm, nurturing setting.

Our Pre-Primary teachers nurture each child’s individual learning journey. Through personalised support and engaging classroom experiences, we ensure that every child makes steady progress towards our end of year goals.

Our Approach

The Pre Primary programme at The Earth School is designed to nurture curiosity, independence, and a love of learning. Children learn through hands-on exploration in a prepared environment that balances freedom with gentle guidance.
