Academics
Curro Mossel Bay has a preschool in Mossel Bay on the Garden Route, that provides high-quality early childhood development in English and Afrikaans for children from 4 months to 5 years with a focus on the ELDAs. Our small class sizes based on age allow our dedicated teachers to engage each child in our internally developed play-based curriculum at affordable school fees and to build strong, caring relationships with each child. We also accommodate Grade R learners in our preschool. However, as their daily activities and programmes are built into the foundation phase of primary school, please refer to our primary school webpage for information on our Grade R offering.
What do we offer?
At Curro Mossel Bay, we lay the foundation for your child’s future social and academic life by incorporating play in stimulating, developmental activities such as creative movement and artistic expression. By involving you as parents in your child’s learning experience, we provide a holistic development programme within small class sizes at affordable school fees that stretches beyond the classroom.
How does Curro Mossel Bay Preschool support my child’s early childhood development?
As a Curro School our internally developed preschool programme is designed with the Early Learning and Development Areas (ELDAs) in mind. This approach to early childhood development aims to stimulate physical, social, emotional and cognitive well-being through developmental activities and engaging play areas. ELDAs focus on aspects such as gross motor development, fine-motor development, social awareness, communication, spatial awareness and arts.
We encourage loose-parts play
The development of curiosity and imagination in early childhood is vitally important to the development of problem-solving skills and critical thinking later on. Therefore, as a Curro School we encourage playing with loose-parts and multi-purpose playthings, rather than single-purpose toys that don’t involve much imagination. Through loose-parts play, children in our small class sizes use their natural curiosity to explore previously undiscovered fascinations such as stacking, rolling, sliding, fitting, colours, and more.

Activities at our school
As a Curro School we believe that participation in extramural activities plays an important role in promoting social skills, self-confidence, and physical well-being. They are offered by external tutors or coaches at a cost additional to our affordable school fees and take place on the preschool’s premises.
