At Westville Pre-Primary School, professionally qualified and highly experienced teachers offer a child-centred environment facilitating learning-through-play.

The curricula is designed to ensure age appropriate cognitive skills, general knowledge and life skills. There are also opportunities for our pupils to be exposed to music, drama, science, geography and maths.

The school offers an extensive range of modern educational and play equipment. Both indoor and outdoor activities are geared to encourage and develop creativity, social interaction and physical development.

During free play the children can choose to play in any one of our four areas, garden, creative, fantasy or cognitive areas. Free play is very important for stimulating their imaginations, teaching them social skills and how to interact in group situations.

The outside play area includes extensive jungle gyms, a sandpit, cycle tracks, mini-sports field and covered play areas. The outside space is well maintained with grassed areas and tree-shaded spots for play. The children have access to two wheeler bikes, tricycles, wagons, scooters and plastic push-bikes. There is also a large array of outdoor equipment including soccer nets, netball hoops, swing ball, stilts, balancing equipment, mini gym equipment, hula hoops, bean bags, balls etc. In addition to all of the aforementioned we also have a variety of sensopathic and water play spaces available.

Activities indoors include creative activities such as painting, box construction, cutting, drawing, play dough, sticking and stencilling. Dolls, dress up, kitchen, block building etc. provide the bases for imaginative play in our fantasy room. Our cognitive area is fully equipped with a range of teacher directed games, puzzles and an extensive library.

At mid-morning the children are provided with a healthy snack which includes sandwiches, slices of fruit or vegetables and juice.

After-Care facility (12:00 - 17:00) run by Aunty Gill is also offered at an additional cost. Please contact Gill directly on gill@westvillepps.co.za to discuss fees etc.
