EARLY LEARNING SCHOOL

A welcoming environment

Offering a nurturing environment, The Early Learning School - Kindergarten at St. George’s welcomes children from 18 months to 3 years old who benefit from a unique, bilingual learning environment with a family atmosphere. Children from 18 months to 3 years are cared for in our Early Learning School, while admission to Foundation Stage is from 3 years old. All visitors comment on the calm and purposeful feeling in the Kindergarten Chalet, where children are at the heart of all we do.

Personalised care

The personalised attention, respect, and care of each individual, together with clear aims for progression, allows every child to receive the best possible start to their educational journey.

Well-supported transition

We work closely to guarantee a smooth transition from our crèche to the school and introduce the latest creative innovations in education. We welcome children from a broad international community and specialised educators work with children in small groups to ensure all children experience a warm introduction to St. George’s. We also offer extended childcare options.

The Approach

We are proud to use the Reggio-Emilia Inspired approach to Early Learning to maximise your child’s development and learning in Le Chalet.

Activities

We propose activities adapted to the age of the children, which allows them to explore their potential within a secure environment.

In alternating between structured activities and moments of informal time, your child can develop his or her creativity, imagination, attention, as well as various intellectual and motor functions.

Simple and enjoyable activities stimulate your child and develop their confidence through embracing new experiences.
