About Us!
We are a team, and believe that the development of each child should be shared responsibly between the parents and the teacher. Parents are encouraged to become involved in the education of your child. We have an open-door policy and would appreciate all comments and suggestions. Your child will be cared for and taught by dedicated teachers and experienced child minders. We are proud to provide a caring, safe environment for your child, one which ensures optimal learning experiences.
345 Nursery School started in 1979 placing us in over 25 years of quality education delivery. Over the years, 345 has grown into a vibrant learning environment that spans over two campuses (Vorna Valley and Carlswald) and is a direct feeder to Carlswald House Preparatory (www.carlswaldhouse.co.za)
Child’s Play
Welcome to every child’s cloud nine. At 345 our playgrounds are completely fenced and well equipped with a wide range of SAFE jungle gyms and other play equipment. Sand and water is also available for the children at playtime. The playground is supervised at all times.
The Grounds Upon which we learn
We give your children the best environment possible. Our play areas are carefully planned and designed with developing minds and bodies in mind. Outside time is always fun and enjoyed by all whether it be bouncing on trampolines, climbing frames and jungle-gyms or quiet play time in the shade under trees and covers.
At 345 security is very important to us, both on entry and on the school grounds.
We Get Dirty!
We love to work, but we also LOVE to play. So please ensure that your child comes dressed in play clothes, as they may be involved in messy play activities from time to time and it is unrealistic to expect a child to stay clean while playing.
Please label all clothes and shoes and send a small bag with a change of clothes in case of an accident. Please send along a hat and a light blanket that can be left in the locker for daily use. An apron or big old t-shirt for painting is also a good idea to protect clothes. Should your child still be in nappies, please send a fully packed nappy bag with wet wipes, disposable nappies and any creams that may be required, as well as 2-3 changes of clothes.
Lively Learning
We are BIG on sport, which means there is a large scope for extra-murals at the nursery school.
Should you require your child to participate in a particular activity, please inquire at the office. The fun-loving activities that are currently being offered include pottery, swimming, ballet, karate and soccer. All payments for these activities are made out directly to the coaches/instructors and not to the Nursery School.
We include Active Bodies and music which are included in the school fees. These activities all take place in the morning, so that all our children can participate.
