Redwood Pre-Primary, set in the heart of La Lucia. It is a Christian pre-primary school where education is based on the Bible and dedicated to seeing each student discover their God given destiny. The school is filled, daily, with joy, creativity and acceptance for each unique individual child. It is a privilege to observe how, in this atmosphere, children thrive and develop, each one becoming increasingly spontaneous and confident in who they have been created to be. We are blessed to have an amazing team of teachers and assistants who tirelessly love and nurture each child daily, through every aspect of their development, and love every moment of what they do. Redwood Pre-Primary is truly home-from-home for each one, staff and learners alike. A Christian value system based on the character traits observed in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ is at the core of the school’s philosophy, using the Accelerated Christian Education Programme (A.C.E) for our Grade R’s. The Toddlers (18 months– 3 years), the Grade 000 (3-4 years) and the Grade 00 (4-5 years) groups’ programmes run according to weekly themes, also based on the character traits of Jesus. Redwood Pre-Primary – Developing Your Child for Future Learning. The desire of Redwood Pre-Primary is to develop the whole child as it is believed that every area of the child, be it physical, social, emotional, intellectual or spiritual, are equally important. There is, therefore, a continual striving to provide opportunities to enhance all these areas on a daily basis. A student’s day at Redwood Pre-Primary is a busy one. Activities on offer ensure learners get the opportunity to develop many different skills, the most important of these being creative thinking and problem solving. Emotional and language skills are continuously being stimulated as children make choices, discuss, plan and experience success and achievement whilst being actively involved in a variety of challenges and opportunities placed before them daily. The Grade R programme is an excellent and unique one, based on the phonetic reading system enabling every child to have an excellent preparedness for learning to read in Grade 1. This, however, is a challenging programme and it is recommended that children do not advance to Grade R before they turn 6 years of age in that year. At this pre-primary it is believed whole-heartedly to “Train up a child in the way he should go…”(Proverbs 22:6). This is an awesome task and one Redwood Pre-Primary does with absolute pleasure and joy.
