Welcome to

Crawford International La Lucia Pre-Primary

At Crawford International La Lucia Pre-Primary, we inspire a curiosity for learning and encourage our students to explore, discover, and experiment through meaningful play opportunities.

Our innovative and student-focused methodology is central to our teaching and learning, where the academic philosophy of THINK, UNDERSTAND and APPLY is the foundation. We nurture our students’ confidence and self-esteem not only in the classroom but outside as well. Our creative and stimulating learning environment encourages and supports the holistic development of each student.

Our student-centred approach ensures that students examine and realise their full potential. Every student is acknowledged and offered the opportunity to excel.

At Crawford International La Lucia Pre-Primary, we equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a formal learning environment when they move to Grade 1. Our Pre-Primary forms part of the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 3 – 12.

Future-Focused Skills

Emphasis is placed on gross and fine motor, perceptual, cognitive, language and numeracy development. Thinking skills are honed, and students are encouraged to explore a variety of options when problem-solving to discover a workable solution. Through thinking routines, we teach our students to question and form opinions, which are expressed through:

• Discussion and reflection;
• Voice, choice, and ownership of learning;
• Drawing; painting and creating;
• Baking, drama and music, and;
• Role play and dramatisation. 

A school readiness assessment is done on all our Grade 0 students with the additional optional support of hearing and eye tests conducted during the Grade 00 or Grade 0 school year.
