Our classes

The environment of all three classes is bright, spacious and inviting. The rooms are organised, calm and beautifully laid out, so children are excited to come inand explore the class. In each corner of the classroom there is a spark of interest waiting for children to explore, whether in the bookcorner, construction area, fine motor table or in the fantasy area. During the course of the day, children move between the indoor and outdoor environments going from learning about numbers, writing their names, to playing on our open grass areas with a fully equipped jungle gym and play area.

About

Kids on the Bay opened its doors in 2015 with the vision to provide a warm, nurturing, safe space for young children to grow and learn. Creating a caring and friendly environment, incorporating diverse learning strategies, helping children develop to their full potential, learning the principles that form a solid foundation in education and life.  

At Kids on the Bay we offer a theme-based curriculum, that nurtures a child’s creative, cognitive, social-emotional and physical skills and abilities through intentionally designed materials and activities. Our teachers work hard to provide a balance of flexibility and structure that allows them to create individualized learning for every child. We believe each child is valued as a unique individual and should be cared for, taught and supported to thrive in his/her own way. We believe by teaching them to care, be considerate and show respect for one another, they will learn good, positive qualities which will help them grow into strong, confident individuals. 

Our school offers an exceptional education every fun-filled day in a place as nurturing as home, which makes young children feel that they are part of our school’s family. Kids on the Bay fosters independence, creativity and problem-solving from an early age and the ability to concentrate and complete a task is also encouraged.

By gaining the most out of the school day, we hope that they will leave Kids on the Bay feeling ready and prepared; cognitively, emotionally, socially, physically, creatively, and ready to integrate with ease into formal school.
