What it is

The play-based program is where most of our youngest learners start. Sessions look like play because play is how a child this age learns — but each activity is chosen for a reason: to stretch attention span, to build fine motor control, to introduce turn-taking, to get a child used to following a simple instruction from an adult who is not a parent.

It runs in our playroom, which is set up at child height throughout — tables, chairs, reading shelves and an indoor slide — so nothing in the space is out of reach or off limits.

Who it suits

Children between 1 year 6 months and 4 years 6 months who are not yet in formal school, or who are about to start and would benefit from a gentler run-up to it.

It is also a common first step for parents who are unsure whether their child is ready for a classroom, and want to see how they do in a small, supervised group first.

What your child works on

Following simple instructions and routines
Sitting, listening and taking turns
Fine motor skills — grip, tracing, cutting, sorting
Early language, colors, shapes, counting
Playing alongside and then with other children

How sessions run

Sessions are held either one-on-one or in a small group. In a group session, every learner is assigned their own facilitator, who gives individual attention, guidance and support from the start of the session to the end. No child is left waiting for a turn or lost in the group.

Some children begin with one-on-one sessions and move into a small group once they are ready. This is a normal part of the process, and we will recommend the change when we see that your child is ready for it.
