Beehive Montessori - 9383 1283

From 3 years old

At the Pre-Primary level, children work to develop themselves in the setting of the prepared environment. Five areas of activity assist this process.

Practical life exercises encourage independence through learning to care for oneself, others and the environment. It establishes the work cycle – a work is chosen, completed and returned to its location, ready for another person to use.

The Sensorial Apparatus awakens the mind to the stimuli that are received through the senses; these are then named.

The Language programme begins by making the child aware of the sounds of speech and then associates symbols with them. Through a variety of approaches, writing and reading ensure the beginning of grammar. Their work is always  introduced in a meaningful way.

Number work focuses on the decimal system and its operations. The foundations of geometry and algebra are also laid.

The culture area includes elements of.

• Geography – the nature of the earth and its people.
• Biology – the classification of plants and animals.
• History – a sense of the progression of time and of current events.
• Art & Music – experiences of these and an introduction to their styles.

They are involved in whole school events such as the student run assemblies, excursions & incursions, sleepovers and camp.

Nedlands School of Early Learning - 9386 3134

47/49 Carrington St, Nedlands

Based on the philosophy and practice of the Municipal Schools of Reggio Emilia, we believe is it imperitive that we understand and reflect on the idea of knowing and respecting our children. We need to take the time to listen to our children so that we can build environments and opportunities for our children to safely explore their hundred languages. For this to happen we must recognise that our children are competent individuals.

St Hildas’s Anglican School – Early Learning Centre

The coeducational Early Learning Centre at the Chidley Campus consists of a Junior Kindergarten class and two Kindergarten classes.  Early Learning Centre classes are staffed by highly qualified teachers and assistants who specialise in early childhood development.

Junior Kindergarten is a new venture for St Hilda’s.  This programme for three-year-olds offers a creative curriculum with an emphasis on developing a child who is confident, friendly, has good relationships with peers, is able to concentrate on and persist with challenging tasks, can listen to instructions and be attentive, and communicate frustrations and joy effectively.  Students can attend two, three or five days a week.

The two full-time Kindergarten classes for 4-year-old boys and girls continue the tradition of providing challenging cognitive, creative, social, emotional and physical experiences for students.

All ELC students can take advantage of the Extend-ED programme, which caters for busy parents.
