Our Curriculum Overview
A Commitment to Excellence
At Joybirds Preparatory students explore and discover, create and innovate, question and problem solve, work together and individually as they focus on big ideas and their passions. Through play and project based hands-on experiences which foster social interaction and ignite creativity and imaginative thinking, students become independent, self-confident, inquisitive and enthusiastic learners.
Our experienced teaching team caters to the needs and interests of every child through a range of learning opportunities designed to be enjoyable, engaging, challenging and motivating. Inviting indoor and outdoor spaces allow for a free-flow of movement, and provide varied environments for self-initiated activities, guided lessons, and small and large group interactions.
Our educators closely monitor each child’s progress at every stage of learning, and celebrate and value their successes. Teachers continuously assess children both in their everyday activities and play, and in their more focused work. This allows us to support, stretch and challenge our children as individuals.
Our Creative Approach to learning
Every students needs the best possible start as they begin their educational life,and our Creative program achieves an education that is engaging, challenging, motivating and even fun.
