About

Our teaching philosophy A large part of our teaching choices and principles are Montessori based, this leads to a system of education which is both a philosophy of child development and a motivation for guiding such growth. It is based on two important developmental needs of children: The need for freedom within limits. A carefully prepared environment which guarantees exposure to materials and experiences. This system of education is designed to take full advantage of the child's desire to learn and use his or her unique ability to develop their own capabilities. Our learning environment will help the child to develop physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally. Children choose their activities from open shelves with self-correcting materials and work in distinct work areas - on tables or on rugs on the floor. The practical life exercises enhance the development of task organization and cognitive order through care of self, care of the environment, exercises of grace and courtesy, and refinement of physical movement. The sensorial materials enable the child to order, classify and describe sensory impressions in relation, length, width, temperature, mass and colour.

Truly the BEST decision I could have ever made enrolling my then 2 year old, Teacher to pupil ratio is exactly what I had hoped for. The montessori method teaching has enabled my now 3 year old to want to do most things on her own no matter how sometimes complex but the urge try comes first before the "Mummy" or "Daddy" can you help me.The mix of learning and play, top tier 👌🏾 To summarize, Squirrel leap is a warm, personal highly educational institution that has knowledgeable and welcoming staff members. I cannot reiterate this enough, Absolutely the best decision I have ever made in starting my child's educational journey right. Thank you, Squirrel Leap.

We have enjoyed being part of the Squirrels Leap family since our son was 18 months old. From the first day he was surrounded with love & care. The teachers and staff are amazingly kind, generous, and patient. They have nourished his mind with lessons on basic math & grammar concepts, fed his creativity with drawing and craft exercises and helped him understand the importance of task organization. They have played a special role in our sons life setting him up for his next step at school. Amazing school!

My daughter attended Squirrels Leap Nursery School for 3 years and absolutely loved her time there. The teachers are attentive and caring, the classes small and the school facilities well looked after. It is a stunning school in every way! The school takes pride in what they offer the small ones, a great mix of guided lessons, crafts and activities sparking their young imaginations. It was wonderful being part of the Squirrels community before we had to moved on to Grade R. (The addition of swimming lessons built into the school offering is a great bonus!)

My child has been attending Squirrels Leap for 3 years, and I highly recommend it to any parent. The school itself is beautiful, with lots of room to play outdoors in the shade, along with the swimming school on the same grounds which is perfect. The teachers are kind and so attentive to each child and their needs. They are sensitive and keep in contact with the parents on a daily basis. The curriculum is extremely well thought out and gives the children a great way to learn motor skills, social skills and develops a space of free play which makes it comfortable for the children.

We couldn’t be happier with Squirrels Leap Nursery School! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed by the warm, nurturing staff. The teachers are incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely care about each child’s individual needs. Both our little girls have grown so much in confidence and skills since joining. The curriculum is a perfect balance of fun and learning, with activities that spark creativity, curiosity, and a love for exploration. From what we hear from our girls, everyday is filled with exciting activities. The facilities lovely and are clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed for young children. Communication with the staff is excellent—they keep us updated with activities, and they’re always open to answering any questions or concerns. It’s clear that the team is passionate about fostering a positive and engaging environment for early learning. We’ve seen tremendous growth in our child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development, and we’re so grateful to Squirrels for playing such an important role in these early years. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a safe and stimulating preschool experience!
