At Oxford little angels, we believe that every child is unique and special. They are at the core center of our hearts. Our school promotes the holistic development of the child and focuses on the psychological, social, physical, emotional, and creative environment. We also instill in them a strong moral and spiritual compass. We believe in learning-by-doing and push to develop curiosity and imagination to acquire skills needed for success in future education. We warmly welcome children of all backgrounds.
Our Vision
The vision of the school is to innovatively enlighten our young children to be creative, intellectual and have a playful learning experience that enables them to:
Ø Grow in confidence socially, intellectually and emotionally
Ø Be comfortable and happy with themselves
Ø Enjoy and thrive in future learning situations
Our Curriculum
We follow the Independent School of Southern Africa (ISASA) Curriculum modified to cater to the unique needs of our children. We believe pre-school provides the correct balance of play and learning for children in their most formative early years to acquire skills for a more structured formal education process.
We have a full range of indoor and outdoor play equipment to stimulate and educate children through play allowing. Children are learning all the time and for them ‘playing’ is learning. It could be sharing with others, deciding how to play in the home corner, or being creative on the sticking table. Before learning to read and write it is important to love stories and books, to recognize shapes, and to hold pencils, brushes, and other tools. Learning songs and rhymes and listening to music all add to their learning. We have lots of board games where we match colors and shapes, take turns and talk non-stop!
They explore, investigate, discover, create, practice, rehearse, repeat and consolidate their developing knowledge, skills, understanding, and attitudes. Many of these aspects of learning are brought together effectively through playing and talking.
By the time your child goes to school he/she should be speaking well, know colors and shapes, numbers up to ten, be able to sit quietly and listen to stories, recognize his/her name, be able to go to the toilet, and dress him/herself without help and be confident about playing with other children. Above all, we have a lot of fun together in a group so that your child will not be afraid to take the next step to school. We are confident that the children who leave us have had as good a start as we can give them.
Our curriculum is divided into 6 distinct learning areas:
We have a great family of staff that have extensive experience in child care and education. They are also very carefully trained to ensure the best result for our pupils.
