Preschool
All children need to be dropped off and picked up by a named Parent or Guardian. The parent or guardian will be asked to stay till a picture is taken and handoff is complete from our staff. You will be send a notification on our Little Family Room app. Children will be supervised at all times during this process.
Children will be given snacks during morning time, around 10:30. Lunch will be served at 12:30 in a community area where children can sit with other students. Afternoon snacks will be given at 3pm. You need to declare any dietary restrictions to us at the orientation session when your child joins. Be secure in the fact that if a child says they are hungry we will always have snacks at the ready just in case!
A full set of uniform will be given upon enrolment. It will consist of 2 sets of t-shirts and skirts / shorts. You can purchase additional uniforms as per your requirements.
Your child will be evaluated and treated immediately. All our staff are trained in First Aid and CPR. You will be called right away if the injury is severe, or if your child needs to go home due to illness. If we feel it is a severe case, and time is of the essence, we will call you as we prepare to take your child to the nearest clinic / hospital. We will take pictures of any injuries and update you via our app.
We use a British based curriculum based off the Early Years Foundation School curriculum guidelines, issued by the Ministry of Education in the United Kingdom. The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) is designed to foster comprehensive, playful, and inquiry-based learning experiences for young children.

It is strongly encouraged that all children starting in Preschool, however, it is not required. We will help you prepare your child to get used to using a potty / children’s toilet. Our staff are on hand at all times to change diapers when needed. You will be asked to send diapers, wet-wipes and skin cream if your child is still wearing diapers.
We recommend that children refrain from napping in our preschool. Children are given plenty of rest and quiet times during the day. We have children’s sleeping areas should your child want to have an undisturbed sleep. Staff members are always around during any sleep times.
Parents can access information instantly about their child(ren)’s classroom activities, schedule, and plans through our Little Family App, which also provides access to family contact information and is where parents can update emergency contacts or the list of individuals allowed to pick up their child(ren). In addition to class specific information, all school events, notices, weekly newsletters from classroom teachers, monthly newsletters from teachers, school calendars, and photos live on the secure Parent Portal.
Flex Care
Flex Care is the options we provide to all parents. We know that parents of young children need more flexibility so we offer a number of options that provide you with more choices. You can choose from our Morning Programme, Full Day or Extended Hours program. We even offer flexible weekend ‘Drop In’ class sessions for the times when you need a little break! We got you covered! CURIOO’s certified teachers design specific curriculum, in addition to the IEYC core learning curriculum. These activities normally involve creative arts, story times, guided play orientated activities and communication activities.
Whilst we do not recommend disturbing your child’s education we try to make sure that we offer the most flexible service to parents. However, in some cases we cannot continually reserve a place for your child.
During the weekend we will run small classes of 2-3 hours where parents can drop off their child whilst they go about their day! These classes – or ‘credits’ can be purchased by current students only and in rare cases, by prospective parents.
Primary Ready
Our Primary Ready Program caters to children from 5 to 7 years old and prepares children academically, socially and in some cases, mentally for the entrance into Primary School. This program will be starting in September 2024. More information to follow.
