At St. Mary's, Early Years is the bedrock upon which mature, capable and confident students of the future are developed. Ages range from 2½ to 5. Our children are happy, secure and nurtured by staff who are the most caring people you could meet. They do an amazing job, so much so that they have been inspected by OFSTED and ISI and have been graded OUTSTANDING in 2010 by both, a fantastic achievement that they thoroughly deserve.
If you want your child to get the best by the best, you need to visit St. Mary’s Preparatory School and have a chat on how we can support and nurture your child through the Early Years.
Our approach is holistic, ensuring personal, social and emotional growth through development of communication skills as well as providing a good foundation in language, literacy, understanding of the world, problem solving, reasoning and numeracy, creativity and physical development.
We understand that children commencing school display different levels of understanding, confidence and experience and we see this challenge as one of our
strengths. Each child is unique, so we respond to each child's individual needs and interests in a flexible, positive way. At this crucial stage in a child's development we encourage self-respect, positive self-image and confidence.
Early Years is divided up into developmentally appropriate units known as Cornerstone Caterpillars (2½ to 3 Years), Cornerstone Butterflies (aged 3 - 4 years) and Foundation Stage Year (aged 4 - 5 years), which is the receiver year for the Lower School.
The progression through these stages is seamless to the children but professionally planned and monitored.
