The 116 children in the pre-primary school are taught in 5 classes up to Grade R. After following a traditional South African rote learning approach to literacy and numeracy, Sharron is now moving towards developing elements of the Emilio Reggio educational philosophy. This encourages learning though the children’s own experiences and by the choices they make. She is working with the staff in the pre-primary to explore how this approach might be used at Kwasa. A clear development plan is set out for Early Years at Kwasa, making the development of teaching skills and the curriculum a priority.
