We build character.

It has been the school’s motto since the beginning, and it is not decoration. It is what the whole day is arranged around.

At Tiny Town Nursery School we aim to provide a structured and disciplined environment in which we can educate our learners in a loving setting using a holistic approach. We strive to guide our learners to achieve their full potential mentally, emotionally, socially and physically.

Our goal is the development of the whole child in all its respects, culminating in a happy, well balanced individual.

Babies through to Grade R.

Tiny Town takes children from 0 to 6 years, from our cot rooms right through to the 00 and 0 classes, where Audiblox gets them properly ready for big school. We are one of the only preschools in the area with three qualified Grade R teachers, and our classes are kept small so that every child is actually seen.

Structured, and warm

A structured and disciplined environment, run in a loving setting. Children do best when they know exactly where the edges are.

Holistic, not academic-only

We guide our learners mentally, emotionally, socially and physically. Reading and maths readiness matter, and so do music, movement and make-believe.

You will know how they are doing

Reports go home three times a year, there is a parent-teacher meeting every second term, and the communication book travels home every single day.
