Pre-Primary Department

Train your child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Prov 22:6

Would you like to give your Pre-primary child the opportunity to:

  • Experience God’s love, faithfulness and goodness, and so come to love God as Father;
  • meet the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as Lord and Saviour without pressure;
  • learn that he/she is a unique, special creation, and that it is fun to be at school;
  • see that the same God his/her family talks about, is at the center of his/her school life too;
  • learn to enjoy listening to what others have to say, develop patience in waiting in turn, stand in line, learn to control his/her emotions, and to share;
  • see and marvel at the beauty of the world, through the Bible story of Creation, and through science and natrual experiments;
  • learn to question, and to find answers?
