Curriculum

COLT Educare is a place where the child feels secure and play is a sanctuary of safety. It’s an environment where the teacher makes every effort to maintain a predictable routine with the least amount of disturbances. 

The rhythm and routine of the daily program allows the children to become independent and able to complete tasks in an organised and disciplined way without imposing authority and demands on them. COLT has two classes and a total of 20 children.

Sunflower class is the 3 – 5 year old group where the focus is on play and discovery. At this age the child learns through imitation and experiences the world predominantly through their senses.This is the child’s first experience of being away from home and a gentle, playful approach is used to allow for this transition.

Grade R class is the 5 – 6 year old group. The Grade R curriculum is individualised for the older children, making integration into formal school possible. Through creative activities the child gains knowledge and skills of literacy, numeracy and lifeskills in preparation for Grade 1.
