Holiday care

Our preschool is open during school holidays and runs a full holiday care programme as part of our school fees. Our regular early childhood development activities continue, although we may arrange some extra fun activities during this time. We are closed only for a specified period during December and January.

Teachers have assistants

As a Curro Select school, our classes are divided by age group and each teacher has one or more assistants, depending on the group and the number of children in the class. There are often more assistants for the younger ones to ensure that each child in our small class sizes get the necessary love and attention.

Meals included

As a Curro Select school, our on-site kitchen is fully equipped to prepare well-balanced, wholesome meals and snacks for children in all age groups at our preschool. All meals are prepared with fresh ingredients just before being delivered to the classrooms. These meals are also included in our school fees and we carefully accommodate allergies and other dietary requirements – catering to individual needs is possible due to our small class sizes.

Registered nurse on-site

At Waterstone College, we know that children wholeheartedly run, climb, and play in ways that could sometimes lead to bumps and scrapes. They might also fall ill during the day. This is why we have a registered nurse on-site during the school day, and all our teachers have first-aid training.

Academic support centre

As part of our commitment to early childhood development, our academic support centre provides personal support for children who require additional support in academic, behavioural or emotional aspects. Children receive tailor-made programmes aimed at meeting their individual needs, and we emphasise early intervention to prevent difficulties later on.

Our academic support centre offers the following:

• On-site team of multi-disciplinary therapists and psychologists
• School-readiness assessments for learners in Group 5
• Early identification of academic, behavioural, or emotional challenges
• Parental guidance and support

Indoor and outdoor play areas

Children learn by interacting with the world around them. As a Curro Select school, our classrooms themselves are considered to be inanimate teachers of sorts. They are designed to allow maximum room for play and movement while being stimulating on a visual and tactile level. 

Our outdoor play areas include jungle gyms, playhouses, jumping pillows, bicycles, sand pit, sports equipment, sensory play, mud kitchen and a bike track. These play areas are designed to encourage physical play, and generally have synthetic grass to prevent allergic reactions. 

Arrange a tour

Waterstone College has a preschool in Kibler Park, Johannesburg, that provides high-quality early childhood development for children from 18 months to Grade R. Our classes are divided by age, and we carefully control the number of children per class to ensure that they are all cared for and entertained. Our internally developed preschool programme engages inherent curiosity and love of play, while supporting their well-being all-round. We also form part of the Curro school group, and have early drop-off times and half- and full-day options.
