Our Commitment to Excellence

We are dedicated to providing you and your child/children with high quality care and education. We are equipped with Early Childhood Education qualifications and participate in ongoing training to further develop our skills and knowledge.
We follow the latest teaching methodology (the playway-through play-activity based learning) and carefully chosen material to enhance the learning experience.
We ensure the highest security for the learners and a stress free environment.

Developmental Learning Program
The playway offers a wide range of developmentally appropriate programs for children. We aim to provide a total learning environment where children are free to observe, question, experiment and explore. It is important for children to experience being wet, dirty, noisy and messy. Children should learn independence by knowing where to find things and being able to get things for themselves. They should learn to respect themselves, and respect the needs and feelings of others. They should feel that they are an important part of the group.
By experimenting children can come to their own conclusions. Even if the conclusion is not correct, the process by which they have come to the answer has inestimable value to their future education. A child who has learnt to solve his own problems with peers or others, whether social, emotional, physical or cognitive is on the way to becoming a functioning human being. This is the goal of good education.
Our programs are evaluated on a short and long term basis. Our philosophy and policies have a strong influence on our programs and have been developed in conjunction with parents/educationists and with my own experience being with children and the international exposure I have gained.
An understanding of global cultures is an important part of the daily program. Pictures, puzzles, manipulative equipment, books, dolls, dress up clothes, decorations, music and friends are incorporated to develop an awareness of the variety of cultures which exist in our society.
