Four things every visiting parent notices first — see them up close

Playgroup to Prep — Learning Through Play

ECCE / Pre-Classes

Before a single worksheet, our Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE) program builds the foundation everything else stands on — through play, sensory exploration, and gentle structure, not rote drilling.

  • A Montessori-inspired, play-based classroom for Playgroup, Nursery, and Prep — not a shrunken-down Grade 1.
  • Dedicated learning corners for sensory play, fine motor skills, storytelling, and early numeracy.
  • Low student-to-teacher ratios so every child gets individual attention during this critical developmental stage.
  • A structured transition plan that eases each child from Prep into the Cambridge Primary classroom.
