Early Years

At Alice Smith School's Early Years (Preschool - Year 2), we focus on helping your child blossom and thrive. We provide a stimulating and supportive environment filled with:

  • A Broad and Balanced Curriculum: Our enriched curriculum offers a variety of learning opportunities that spark curiosity and exploration.
  • Trips and Excursions: We take advantage of educational outings to broaden your child's horizons and connect classroom learning to the real world.
  • Enrichment Opportunities: We offer a range of exciting activities beyond the core curriculum to cater to diverse interests and talents.

Developing the Whole Child

Our school goes beyond academics, fostering well-rounded growth in several key areas:

  • Intercultural Literacy: We celebrate diversity and help children understand and appreciate different cultures.
  • Positive Development: We use the PERMAH framework (Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment, Health) and character strengths to nurture emotional intelligence and well-being.
  • Strong Knowledge Base: We equip children with a solid foundation in core subjects, preparing them for future academic success.
  • Critical Thinking Skills: We encourage children to question, analyse, and think critically about the world around them.
  • Subject Expertise: We help children develop subject-specific skills that allow them to excel in different academic areas.

  • Confident and Positive Learners: With a lifelong love of learning and a thirst for knowledge.
  • Emotionally Intelligent Individuals: Equipped to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and thrive in different situations.
