The Children's House
The Children's House is an
international school for children from the age of 18 months through to
six. The school is based upon a philosophy which recognizes the
uniqueness of each child and the importance of the early years in
developing the child's positive self-image, establishing social
relationships, building concept information, improving language skills,
and encouraging creativity. The school believes that children learn by
being involved in the learning process and by exploring the world around
them with teachers who are sensitive to their needs. At present there
are 137 children in the school representing several nationalities, and
there are eleven classes.
The school hours are: Pre-Toddlers:
Tuesday, Friday 09: 45-12: 45 - Pre-Toddlers: Monday, Wednesday 09:

The size of
the school and classes allows the staff to give each child the
individual attention and one-to-one relationship important to the child
in its formative years, and allows the children to develop through their
own individuality and pace. The children and parents are given the
opportunity to learn more about different languages and cultures and
there is a great deal of interaction between the families attending the
school.
The school incorporates the various international
programmes so that the children are prepared for and can integrate into
local or international schools.
