Unicorn's Grade R facility is nestled in beautiful gardens in a quiet corner of the school.
It is equipped with two large, well-appointed classrooms, an indoor play and creative area, as well as a well-equipped outdoor play area featuring all the necessary apparatus to develop gross motor skills.
Our Grade R team consists of two qualified preschool/Foundation Phase teachers and two assistants, one of whom is a qualified first aider.
Our children are carefully supervised in their day-to-day activities, whether at play or at work.
Grade R weekly programme
Grade R learners attend Information Technology classes in the school's main computer centre, as well as Robotics lessons.
Swimming forms part of the weekly programme for the Grade R learners in the summer.
Music and specialised drumming lessons are part of the Grade R programme, and well enjoyed by our learners.
In addition, ballet, tennis, and the Hornbills Sports Academy (cricket, soccer, rugby, netball, and hockey) are available on the school property in the afternoons at an additional cost to parents.
When our children are not attending one of the above activities, they are at our facility interacting, learning, and playing together.
We firmly believe in the importance of play as we help our children become balanced, socially adaptable, and well-adjusted individuals.
We strive to maintain a happy, stimulating, and nurturing environment by establishing clear boundaries and following a well-structured timetable that caters to all areas of development.
We have access to a Learner Support Facilitator and a Speech Therapist who assist us with any concerns or challenges we may encounter while preparing our little ones for Grade 1. As they are based on campus, communication is continuous, and any issues can be addressed promptly rather than waiting for external consultations. An Occupational Therapist is available on our premises once a week for pupils who require specialised group therapy.
We strongly believe that there is no better way to prepare your child to become part of the Unicorn family than by attending our Grade R programme.
