Preschool

“A child's mind is not a container to be filled but rather a fire to be kindled.”

~ Dorothea Brande

School readiness, independence & social skills

Our Preschool program is developed with the understanding that your child learns best through play as this is how their brain develops; through discovery and imagination. Through play, children discover and explore the world around them whilst our educators encourage their independence, curiosity, wonder and the confidence to be successful lifelong learners.

What has kept us for the last 5 years and 3 children at Emali has been the staff. Each of our children has been embraced for their individuality, nurtured and supported into caring, independent, inquisitive children. Emali Findon is like an extended family full of Aunts and Uncles, and are always there to provide guidance or an understanding ear when you, the parent, need it too.
