Nursery (Seedling)
At this stage child needs to be developed and prepared for everything they are going to encounter in the school, e.g. following a common routine, communicating in a large group, paying attention for a longer span, eating on their own, making friends, looking after their bodily needs, their belongings, dealing with strangers, reading, writing etc.
At Sheldon, we understand that young children grow and learn the most when they receive undivided attention and the right stimulation. As parents, you can be assured that our inclusive, engaging and interactive learning environments are capable of adapting to your child’s specific learning and development requirements.
