Gross Motor
Rhythmical movement in the form of climbing, running, jumping and dancing. We have jungle gyms and outdoor equipment, including a small trampoline, to make it happen.
Seven pieces, every day.
An OBE structured pre-primary education and development programme. Our goal is the development of the whole child in all its respects, culminating in a happy, well balanced individual.
The whole child, in seven pieces
Tap any piece to jump to what it actually looks like in your child’s day.
- We Build Character
What each piece means.
Music
Music appreciation in the form of singing, dancing, dramatisation and percussion instruments.
Fantasy Play
Imagination is an important part of a child's development. We have fantasy corners where children can dress up and take part in make-believe play.
Creative Activities
Children love to create things. They take part in all sorts of creative activities: painting, cutting, pasting, and constructing out of anti-waste materials.
Skills
Perceptual and cognitive skills are needed in preparation for primary school: reading, writing and maths. We use memory games, puzzles, board games, worksheets and counting blocks to develop them.
Fine Motor
A fine motor grip and hand-eye co-ordination are what let a child write, manipulate, thread and tie. We offer playdough manipulation, puzzles, threading, peg boards and block building.
Reading
We are proud of our reading corners, and our children are encouraged to “read” books. We teach respect and a love of books by reading stories every day: theme-related stories as well as bible stories, songs and rhymes.
Ready for big school, not just old enough for it.
The jump to Grade 1 is a real one. Our senior classes run additional programmes so that it is a step rather than a leap, and Grade R at Tiny Town is taught by qualified Grade R teachers.

Every Tiny Town child leaves with a diploma, and a name on the wall.
Bakerman
Each child takes a turn to bring home-baked goods for their class on a Friday, and the other children buy from them. It teaches the concept of buying and selling, and a bit of money sense along the way.
Reports and real conversations
Development is monitored on an age-appropriate basis. Reports go home three times a year, and a parent-teacher meeting is held every second term.
And then there is everything else.
Offered at the school, so there is no ferrying your child across Randburg on a Tuesday afternoon.
