The preschool comprises the crèche and nursery section of the school .

We offer a blend of the Nigerian national pre-primary curriculum and the English Early years foundation stage (EYFS) curriculum. In line with the EYFS, the educational programme and learning goals covers four themes and  seven areas of learning: three prime areas and four specific areas

THE EYFS THEMES 

At Howbury Pre-School we believe that play underpins all development and learning for young children and it is through play they develop intellectually, creatively, physically, socially and emotionally. Therefore we provide planned experiences based on children's spontaneous play both indoors and outdoors. 

 

In the preschool: we have five educational groups, children are placed based on age and academic ability. The basic criteria for class placement are satisfactory performance at school readiness/placement test and attainment of mandatory age by 15th September 

 

Each class (except the crèche) has a class teacher who teachers all subject areas except French, music and ICT. A class teacher is assisted by a class aide to achieve the class learning objectives.
