These specialised classes are designed especially for children from  18 months of age, to have a positive beginning to learning.  Our staff are highly trained and knowledgeable with a passion for children’s learning and development. We understand the uniqueness and potential of each child and the importance of the early childhood years as a time to develop into life long learners.   Research has shown that giving our children a head start by investing in the early years makes the biggest difference to a child’s future life chances.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Begin Bright program offered for children aged 3-6 years&lt;br /&gt;Little Learners program offered for children aged 18 months - 3 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd love to hear your views on whether you think giving children a head start is necessary, or whether children should be able to manage school without any additional help.
