The Wallace High School Pre-Prep gives younger children their all-important introduction to the learning environment.
The early years are critical in terms of successful intellectual, social, emotional, physical, spiritual and creative development. At Wallace, we provide a very effective introduction to those concepts that are central to successful learning without subjecting the children to any feeling of pressure; learning is presented to these young children in an enjoyable, easily assimilated way.
We recognise that all pupils have different talents and strive to ensure that every pupil has an equal opportunity to find and develop the talents they do possess.
Our Pre School Teacher, Mrs Jackson plans the structure of our Pre-Prep activities carefully in order to develop the children’s self-confidence and nurture an enjoyment of school. The addition of social experience and plenty of play provide a fully rounded educational foundation during the vital early years.
Children will have the opportunity to:
• explore the immediate environment handle and use various materials.
• appreciate the value of books
• acquire communication and mathematical skills
• gain enjoyment from the company of other children
• begin to solve problems
