Crawford International Bryanston Pre-Primary is located in the heart of Bryanston and offers a carefully considered environment for early learning. Spacious classrooms support purposeful play and hands-on experiences that encourage curiosity and creativity.

Our innovative and student-focused methodology is central to our teaching and learning, where the academic philosophy of THINK, UNDERSTAND and APPLY is the foundation. Future-focused skills are developed throughout each student’s learning journey.

Future-focused Skills

Learning supports gross and fine motor development, perceptual skills, early cognition, language and numeracy. Students are guided to think critically, explore different approaches to problem-solving and express their ideas with confidence.

Thinking routines encourage questioning and reflection through discussion, creative expression, music, drama and imaginative play.

A school readiness assessment is completed in Grade 0, with optional hearing and eye screening available during the Grade 0 or Grade 00 year.

Personalised Learning + Inquiry-Based Learning + Meaningful Play

Our holistic approach to education encourages our students to become fully rounded, unique individuals through a personalised learning journey.

Physical
Challenging outdoor experiences to enhance large muscle development, which is vital for future learning.
Social & Emotional
Our dedicated staff create a safe, nurturing environment where each student can develop confidence and social skills.
Intellectual
We follow the ISASA early development curriculum guidelines and extend beyond the national curriculum. Our students explore the three learning areas of Mathematics, Literacy and Life Skills through our concept-driven units of inquiry. Units of learning and the related conversations encourage our students to evolve as inquirers, both within and beyond the classroom.
Creative
We celebrate the arts through dance, drama, art, and music and consider them instrumental in building self-esteem and allowing students to express themselves.

We tap into our students’ unique abilities and talents, relying on their natural sense of curiosity and provoking their thinking through meaningful play opportunities and inquiry-based learning. Our students are encouraged to explore, discover, and experiment.
