In the interests of your child’s wellbeing and educational development, we recommend that our Explorers (children who will become 3 years of age between September and August) attend at least 3 morning sessions or 2 full sessions per week, and that our Adventurers (children who will become 4 years of age between September and August) attend at least 5 morning sessions or 3 full sessions per week. We recommend where possible that sessions occur on consecutive days. These recommendations help ensure that children benefit fully from the learning opportunities, routines and develop relationships with their peers and adults.
