The perfect school for your little one

-

ING’S GATE Prep School is convenient­ly located at 16 Hillcrest Avenue, off Hope Road (near the Bob Marley Museum) in Kingston. It was establishe­d in September 1970 by Irelene Laird.

The school’s switchboar­d operates between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and you can call any time between these hours.

The school operates two department­s:

1. The early childhood depart- ment for children ages 18 months to five years.

2. The primary department for children ages six to 12 years. Both department­s are registered with the Ministry of Education and are guided by its curriculum.

All our teachers are trained and qualified. The early childhood department operates from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. In this department, we assist with potty training your little ones. They also participat­e in music, Spanish, computer classes, sign language, and art and craft at no extra cost. • 7:30 a.m.-2 p.m. – Regular

school

• 2 p.m.-6 p.m. – After-school care

After 3:30 p.m., contact with the after-school care can be made by calling 283-3304.

Our primary department has always been proud of its GSAT placements. For the past 10 years, we have maintained a 95 per cent placement in traditiona­l high schools.

Our teachers are at work by 7:30 a.m., and the school begins every morning with devotions at 8 a.m. We are not affiliated with any church or religious group, but we embrace the Christian faith and teachings.
