Early phase of learning

Our Early Years programs recognise English, Maths, Science and History as our priority learning areas and that young children learn in very particular ways and require specialist learning environments and teaching.  Kruger offers your child an environment rich in active and investigative learning opportunities with an emphasis on team work, thinking skills and other lifelong learning skills.  It caters for every child's capabilities and learning styles through individual and small group learning.  We develop sequenced school programs, routines and understandings, which promote a smooth transition from one year level to the next.

Prep is the first year of school and the prep students are very much part of our school community, participating in all school routines and special events. All school rules and procedures apply to the Prep year.  The prep year teachers use the Early Years Curriculum, alongside the Australian Curriculum and Education Queensland's C2C Units, to guide the teaching and learning in the first year of school. Our prep students are involved in active/play learning experiences that develop literacy and numeracy skills which provide a solid foundation for success in reading and writing and mathematics in the later years. They will participate in indoor and outdoor learning experiences that aim to promote physical, social, emotional and intellectual competences.
