About Us

Cedar Crest Nursery School specialises in early childhood development.

We believe that growing productive well adjusted adults and future leaders starts at a young age. To accomplish this goal, we believe in creating an environment that is free of stress and prejudice of any kind.

Our focus is to create an environment where children will foster an attitude that makes them feel excited about learning. We will achieve this through the combination of our cutting edge curriculum and teachers who foster a relationship with the children based on love, motherly nurturing, honesty and a robust approach to teaching

The school offers a reliable, safe and loving environment, providing programmes that promote the child’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth; using new and cutting edge methodologies The school provides a structured educational curriculum from ages 18months to 6 years old (Grade R), along with strong components of spiritual and moral values.

The Cedar Crest Nursery School management and staff recognise that children are growing up in a fast paced, challenging and cosmopolitan world, where children at a young age can experience stress. We believe that our children need to be equipped with the tools to deal with these challenges in early childhood and progressively.

We believe that children can start learning life skills from as early as two years old.

Cultivation of skills.

We cultivate these skills in a creative manner that is adapted appropriately for each age group. We teach life skills that address self esteem, bullying, emotional intelligence, communication skills, anger management and social and thinking skills.

Preparation for the future.

We ensure that when our children leave Cedar Crest to branch out in different directions for formal education i.e. primary schooling, they will stand tall and stable and be proudly equipped to manage themselves within the modern schooling system.

Our children will have cognitive and emotional competence along with life skills that translate into appropriate attitudes and behaviours.

At Cedar Crest Nursery school, we support the research that shows that every child learns differently and we will endeavour to structure our programmes and approach to dealing with the children in a way that accommodates these differences.
