Pre-Primary

A Joyful
Beginning
to Learning.

The earliest years shape more than a child’s academic foundation. They influence how children experience learning, respond to the world and begin to understand themselves.

At CNMS, these formative years are made purposeful, joyful and full of discovery, giving every child the freedom to explore, express and grow with confidence.

Montessori + Play-Way

Individual Attention

Every Child.
A Unique Way
of Learning.

Teachers observe each child closely, recognising differences in personality, background, interests and ways of learning. Individual attention helps children develop with confidence while receiving support suited to their needs.

Growing Together

From First Steps
to the Next Stage.

  • Parents as Partners

    Regular communication keeps families informed about their child’s progress, strengths, difficulties and areas where further encouragement may be helpful.

  • Purposeful Assessment

    Assessment is supportive and purposeful, recognising that a young child’s development cannot be captured by marks alone.

  • Ready for Primary

    Teachers take time to understand each child’s interests, strengths and areas of development, helping them move into Primary with confidence and a positive attitude towards formal learning.
