Learn Through Play

For many children, the transition to school represents a significant change in their daily lives.

At Jataka, our Early Years programme is rooted in research-based practice into how young children learn through play, ensuring our youngest students' days remain filled with joy and wonder.

Environment as Teacher

Our unique, thoughtfully designed campus offers a blend of indoor-outdoor free-flow learning centres and atelier spaces, all intentionally resourced to cater to the children’s interests. This allows them to explore the world as they deepen their skills and progress through their next steps.

Individualised Learning

Our Early Years students discover the world as they plan and explore their play projects. Our skilled teaching team is adept at bringing learning to the children in the moment. With a deep knowledge of the individual child, pedagogy, and age-related expectations, they are able to provide an individualised programme of learning that ensures your child builds the key skills and attributes of a lifelong learner.

By placing the development of independence and confidence at the heart of our work, we develop students who are eager to know more and have the skills to do so.
