Our Story

The name Cedar Crest has been carefully researched and chosen. It depicts our philosophy and culture.

The Cedar Tree is known for its strength. The roots of the tree run deep into the ground planting it firmly and enabling it to grow both tall and widespread. The branches grow out horizontally from the parent trunk, which provides the strength and stability to support further growth and development.

It is also known for its healing, purification and spiritual protection. Its spiritual properties are said to promote peaceful thoughts to help one to find inner strength. The Cedar Tree stands proud and tall, towering above other trees, its stature represents calm inner strength.

This analogy is what we build our philosophy on. Cedar Crest Nursery school is a place where children will be given a firm foundation, which will allow them to flourish and grow boldly. The foundation is grounded in solid educational principles and balanced with the nurturing of self awareness, self discipline, individuality, inner strength and confidence.Our goal is to provide all our children with the life skills they need to create success for themselves in a modern world.

Through education and nurturing we will foster an attitude that makes children feel encouraged, excited and expectant with an enthusiasm for life.

Founder & Head of School

I started the school in January 2011. I am a qualified foundation phase educator. I have always had a passion for people development and a love for children. I believe children are capable of so much more than we give them credit for. With the correct environment, nurturing and guidance, every child can achieve their full potential.

As adults and educators it is our responsibility and privilege to grow and sew into the lives of the next generation.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
