Kindergarten and Enrichment Centres give children the opportunity to explore and discover, and take responsibility for selecting and completing a variety of activities. Some Kindergarten and Enrichment Centres may be available all year. Others are introduced for special projects, interests or at seasonal times. The teacher organises the workspaces, activities and materials in response to the children's diverse needs, interests and topics of inquiry.

The Kindergarten classroom is an ever-changing and dynamic learning environment. Children gather together as a whole class to listen to stories, sing songs and share and discuss ideas; smaller groups are used for exploration and discovery tasks.

After a Swallows and Amazons' day, we also run enrichment activities. These are taught by external teachers, the purpose being to expose the children to a variety of teaching styles. These allow parents and children to pursue activities they particularly enjoy. The activities on offer depend on the child’s age and are offered at extra cost.

We recognise the natural variation in individuals’ abilities and learning patterns, the eight intelligences and that children learn in different ways. In our learning environment, there are Kindergarten and Enrichment Centres specifically developed to address the eight intelligences. This allows children to find their niche and to express their individuality.

The Tate - The Art Centre allows children to express their feelings through their artwork. This centre builds the Spatial, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Intelligences.

The Builder’s Yard - The Block Centre allows children to use and develop their Bodily Kinesthetic and Spatial Intelligences as they use motor skills to build structures.

Let’s Pretend - The Dramatic Play Centre uses and develops Interpersonal and Verbal-Linguistic Intelligences as children interact and role-play with each other. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence is used in the development of body language skills.

The Tree House - Library/Listening Centre Verbal-Linguistic intelligence is used as students listen to, read and write stories. Musical intelligence is also being developed through the music heard in the listening centre.

Let’s Meet Arthur the Author - The Writing Centre Intrapersonal Intelligences come to the fore when children enjoy expressing themselves in writing.

The Workshop - The Manipulative Centre Logical-Mathematics and Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligences are developed as children work together with small building materials, beads, puzzles and other manipulatives.

Cookery Depot - The Sensory Table/Science Centre develops Logical-Mathematical and Naturalistic Intelligences as children measure and explore properties of substances during play and cooking.
