Thrive Preschool and After Care Academy class names were developed to increase eco-awareness, which forms an important part in our syllabus and activities.
We have time to…
Learn and Play and Discover and Develop and Explore and Try and Imagine and Touch and Hold Hands and Feel and Laugh and Dream and Ask and Watch and Eat and Rest and Sing and Dance and Perform and Snack and Plant and Paint and Build and Climb and Skip and Get real dirty and clean-up.
Activities are planned to enrich weekly themes by in-house projects and the use of relevant specialist companies. Visits of farm animals, reptiles, the ambulance, planting, water games, star gazing, science experiments and others are specifically designed to extend each theme through play and interaction.
Thrive is delighted to incorporate this valuable daily program as part of our curriculum at no cost to parents. Each baby and toddler receive intensive guidance and instruction from highly qualified professionals. Instructors hold a degree in Kinderkinetics and daily and weekly apply and practice activities and exercises specifically developed for each developmental phase and age. Even our beloved babies get additional exercises and exposure to further enhance great motor and brain development.
Thrive has developed a unique program, spanning CAPS and other popular choices like Regio and Montessori. Our weekly themes and activities are constantly updated to give our little ones the most comprehensive and relevant exposure and learning experience.
We call it our Thrive tree. Children develop in stages and dimensions within a changing environment. The scope and methods of teaching are future focused to promote school readiness and wellbeing.
