Welcome to our Pre-Primary
Our Pre-Primary classrooms are bright, inviting spaces designed to spark wonder. We believe the earliest years of education are the most formative, and so we pour our best into this phase: our dedicated, experienced educators, our warmest care, our most thoughtfully planned environment.
Through structured play, creative exploration and consistent, gentle routine, TKLA’s ECD practitioners lay the academic and emotional foundations that set learners up for success in Grade 1 and far beyond. Every child is known by name, known by heart.

Children learn through structured play, exploration and stories, building skills that go far beyond the classroom.
Early literacy, numeracy and the social routines that prepare every child for a confident start to Grade 1.
Small groups, warm educators and a secure environment where every child feels seen and cared for.
Caring early-years specialists who are dedicated to your child's wellbeing and growth.
Small class sizes mean every child is genuinely known, supported and encouraged to grow.
Head, heart and hands: we develop the whole child, cognitively, emotionally, socially and physically.
Inside the classroom
Our Pre-Primary programme covers eight key areas, building a comprehensive foundation for every child’s growth and school readiness, aligned with Department of Basic Education guidelines.
Early reading, writing and communication skills, built through listening, storytelling and daily conversation.
Numbers, patterns and hands-on mathematics that develop problem-solving, logical thinking and early numeracy.
Drawing, crafts and imaginative play that spark self-expression and build confidence through making and creating.
Gross and fine motor skills developed through movement, outdoor play and active exploration of the environment.
Building relationships, empathy and emotional wellbeing so every child feels secure, seen and ready to engage.
Thinking, reasoning and sensory development fostered through curiosity, investigation and structured discovery.
Rhythm, song and coordinated movement that build confidence, coordination and a joy of self-expression through the body.
Everyday independence, routines and habits that give every child a confident, settled start when they move to Grade 1.
Beyond the classroom
Life at TKLA Pre-Primary extends well beyond the classroom. We create memorable moments that build confidence, community spirit and a sense of belonging, from Sports Day and Heritage Day celebrations to national events and outreach activities.
