Swallows and Amazons stood head and shoulders above other preschools; it nurtures every child as an individual. The low student-to-teacher ratios, flexibility of drop-off and pick-up times and immersive Mandarin programme were important to us. The school develops emotional intelligence as well as numeracy and literacy skills. Clementine likes outside play the best and enjoys the different games. Bram especially likes Miss Sarah, his class teacher for the Hornbills. We adore the learning-through-play philosophy of the school and the children love going to school in the morning!

A WORD FROM THE SCHOOL

Swallows and Amazons Kindergarten is an inclusive school focusing on emotional development in an inquirybased programme for children aged 18 months to six years. The comprehensive Britishbased curriculum consists of defined learning outcomes across six areas: language and literacy, numeracy, motor skills development, aesthetic and creative expression, discovery of the world, and social and emotional development.
