Penryn Preschool

Give your children the start that they deserve

The happiest place on campus

Our little ones range in age from 2 years to Grade R.

We’re not a Daycare. Penryn Preschool is a boutique offering for discerning parents who know what’s best for their children; for parents who understand that the first six years of life matter most.

The joy of play at Penryn

At Penryn Preschool, we believe that the learning experiences on the playground are just as valuable as those inside the classroom. Every moment of joy and discovery outdoors complements their academic growth, making for a well-rounded early education.

Reimagining EducationThe Reggio Emilia Approach to Learning

At our Preschool, we implement the Reggio Emilia approach, which urges us to recognise children as social from birth, full of curiosity and imagination, and having the potential and desire to find connections and meaning in all they experience. This is what ultimately fuels their life-long love of learning. Each child is able to reflect upon, and contribute to, their own learning through their unique ‘languages’ of expression and communication.

Reggio Emilia is a world-leading innovation in Preschool education.

Wings Ceremony

The Wings Ceremony at Penryn Preschool is a cherished tradition that marks a significant milestone in our young scholars’ journey. This heartwarming event celebrates the transition of our preschoolers as they prepare to soar into Grade 1, symbolized by receiving their eagle wings.

The ceremony is a moment of pride and reflection, where educators recognize each child’s unique qualities with personalized certificates, highlighting the special traits that make them shine. It is an opportunity to honor their growth, confidence, and readiness to embrace new challenges. 

At Penryn, the Wings Ceremony is a testament to our nurturing approach, celebrating the individuality and potential of every scholar as they take their next big step into their educational journey.
