Preschool at Shanan

Why Little Lights?

At Shanan, our preschool program is designed to spark curiosity, joy and a love for learning in every child. We are excited to introduce the ‘Little Lights Curriculum’, a Christ-centered, developmentally appropriate program that nurtures the whole child – spiritually, socially, emotionally and academically.

Our Grades and Age Groups

Grade RRR (3 – 4 years): Focus on exploration, sensory play, and early social-emotional skills. Children begin to learn simple Bible stories, practice listening skills and engage in hands-on activities that develop fine and gross motor skills.
Grade RR (4 – 5 years): Builds on foundational skills with early literacy, numeracy and more structured learning. Children continue Bible lessons and memory verses while developing independence, cooperation and confidence in preparation for Grade R.

What Your Child Will Experience

Faith-filled learning: Age-appropriate Bible stories, memory verses and spiritual lessons woven into every day.
Hands-on exploration: Creative arts, sensory play and discovery-based activities that spark curiosity and problem-solving.
Early literacy and numeracy: Fun, interactive approaches to reading, writing, counting and number recognition.
Social and emotional growth: Opportunities for co-operation, empathy and building meaningful friendships.
Movement and play: Structured and free play for physical development, coordination and confidence.

Our Goal

We aim to prepare children for a confident transition into Grade R, instilling a love for learning, a growing faith and a sense of wonder about the world around them.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

A Nurturing Community

At Shanan Preschool, children are supported by caring teachers who guide each child’s growth individually, celebrating milestones and encouraging curiosity every step of the way. Our small classes ensure personalised attention and a strong sense of belonging.
