Our classes are limited to only 15 learners per class to ensure personalised education.
- Preschool Teachers are equipped with I Pad’s to ensure integration of technology in our teaching enabling them to download needed worksheets, educational games, and information to make learning successful and fun.
- Meeting with parents reporting on children’s progress: A parents evening is held on a quarterly basis when report cards go out. However if a teacher or parent has any concerns a separate meeting throughout the year can be arranged.
- How programmes are developed and reviewed: Minnieland follows the GED curriculum and visit schools in the area to make sure we are up to standard. At the end of the year teachers receive the themes planned for the following year developed by the HOD and Principal. Teachers prep files are prepared in advance on a termly basis and reviewed by the HOD and Principal. Prep files are kept at school and are always available in case a teacher is off ill so staff can continue the activities for the day or week. Weekly assessments are done to monitor progress of each child. Report cards are done on a quarterly basis according to the weekly assessments. Teachers will then set up a meeting with parents on parent evenings and hand the report card to the parent and discuss the child’s progress and if there are any concerns. If a teacher or parent is concerned about a child progress a meeting can be arranged at any time.
- Programmes and activities are planned according to school’s calendar. Our themes are discussed on a weekly basis and all activities are done according to the theme.
- Activities include: Daily discussions, painting, drawing, cutting, pasting, textured arts; recycle waste construction, fine motor development, gross motor development, visual and audio discrimination and the learning of letter land.
- Once a term we have an outside visitor come to the school to educate the children. E.g. the Zoo.
