Why Saint Kentigern Preschool?

Just for Preschoolers

We believe in cultivating a passion for learning in the formative years of three to five. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired teaching, carefully guided by passionate educators and supported by purpose-built facilities, inspires curiosity, creativity, and confident exploration in every child.

Faith Everyday

Here we embrace faith, our values and service to others. Children participate in weekly chapel, where important lessons and fundamental concepts are shared through engaging stories. Our termly chapel service brings families together, emphasising the importance of community and connection.

Building Great Citizens

We introduce children to the value of thinking beyond themselves. Through small acts of kindness, teamwork, and responsibility, they begin to understand what it means to be part of a community. Emphasising our values we lay the foundation for generous hearts and a lifelong spirit of service.

Success is Personal

Setting expectations in our youngest students for personal achievement and success is an essential part of our learning day. Our teachers nurture curiosity and encourage every child to enjoy the challenge of learning. Their strengthening perception of themselves is shared and celebrated with the other children and teachers.

Giving it a Go

Children thrive when they are stimulated with many different types of core and co-curricular opportunities. Our students are engaged every day in a balanced programme of numeracy, literacy, arts, music, service and sport which extends them as they explore new topics and discover new experiences.

Beyond the Classroom

Activities outside the classroom make learning fun. Outdoor environments spark curiosity and encourage our youngest learners to explore and grow in confidence and adaptability. Activities like climbing, running, or exploring nature enhance motor skills, coordination and build problem-solving abilities.
