Join HKA’s Playgroup designed specifically for 2 to 3 year olds and their caregivers!
Take advantage of a FREE taster session! Our Playgroup programme is for 2 to 3 year olds and accompanying adults. Children who are 3 years of age can transition to an unaccompanied programme designed to support children with becoming self-directed as they learn and develop at their own individual pace. For this hands-on shared learning experience, our Early Childhood educators have adapted the International Baccalaureate framework to stimulate young minds and support children as makers of their own meaning. Join HKA's Playgroup and experience the joy of discovery with your child!
Our Playgroup is a bespoke learning experience that includes many exceptional features. Each class is led by an English language teacher and supported by HKA's specialist teachers. The Playgroup classroom opens out directly onto our phenomenal outdoor playscapes and organic gardens. As part of the HKA community, Playgroup participants are invited to a variety of community events and parent education opportunities as well as having access to our outstanding library. Participants can also guarantee an invitation for assessment for the following school year.
A rich learning environment that engages all the senses!
