Classrooms that change as children grow Attached to every classroom is a discovery space that adapts as children develop. There are three configurations depending on the age and developmental needs of the children. Toddlers (18 months – 2 years) A treasure trove of fun for young learners; there’s a sandpit where they can build and dig, sift and pour plus water play and bikes.

Explorers (3 – 5 years) Full of natural materials for children to explore. The little learners are encouraged to be independent with the option to choose their own activities. Creators (5 – 6 years) A flexible maker-space that caters for multiple small-group art projects and encourages creative expression. The space may also be used for open-ended play or more structured extended classroom activities. A flexible schedule for busy parents Parents at The Village are free to choose a 3, 4 or 5 day week for their children. Not only that, each school day is flexible.
