Our Pre-Kindy Program
At Ascot Early Childhood, our Pre-Kindy program is thoughtfully designed for children aged around 3 to 4 years — a time when they are developing rapidly in independence, communication, and social understanding. With a warm, nurturing environment and highly experienced educators, we provide the ideal bridge between toddlerhood and Kindergarten.
A Space That Supports Growth and Curiosity
Our Pre-Kindy space is purpose-built to nurture curiosity, independence, and school readiness. Every area supports meaningful play, discovery, and learning.
Home corner and dramatic play encourage role play, storytelling, and real-world exploration, helping children build language, imagination, and social confidence.
Creative arts studio offers daily access to paint, clay, collage, and natural materials, supporting self-expression, fine motor skills, and problem-solving.
Literacy and quiet nook provides a calm space filled with quality books, fostering early reading skills, focus, and a love of stories.
Construction and manipulatives include blocks, magnetic tiles, and loose parts that promote exploration of size, shape, pattern, balance, and early maths concepts.
Sensory and nature play engages children through water, sand, light tables, and nature trays, encouraging scientific thinking and discovery.
Outdoor yard shared with Kindergarten offers space for running, climbing, balancing, riding, sandpit play, & construction — supporting gross motor skills and social learning alongside older peers.
Language, music, and movement sessions build communication, rhythm, listening, and memory through joyful group experiences.
A Rich, Balanced Learning Program
Our Pre-Kindy curriculum offers the right balance of intentional teaching and child-led exploration to help children:
Develop early literacy and numeracy through songs, storytelling, counting games, and hands-on experiences
Build social confidence, empathy, and cooperation through small group work, projects, and open-ended play
Strengthen physical skills — from fine motor tasks like threading and drawing to gross motor activities in the playground, sandpit, and climbing zones
Explore creativity through art, music, movement, and role play
Extend curiosity and critical thinking through STEM challenges, nature investigations, and problem-solving tasks
Pre-Kindy children also begin to take greater responsibility for their belongings, routines, and choices — supported by educators who gently guide and encourage independence.
