At Mamre Anglican School, our Pre-Kindergarten program provides a caring, Christ-centred environment where children are known, valued, and encouraged to flourish. Designed specifically for children preparing to begin formal schooling, our program combines play-based learning, inquiry-based exploration, and explicit teaching to build confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning.
We understand that choosing the right early learning environment is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Our experienced educators work closely with each child to support their spiritual, emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and excited about coming to school each day.
Building Strong Foundations for Kindergarten and Beyond

The Advantage of Learning Within a School Environment
Unlike many early childhood settings, our Pre-Kindergarten students are already part of the Mamre Anglican School community. They become familiar with the school grounds, specialist teachers, routines, and expectations long before they begin Kindergarten.
This unique experience helps children transition smoothly and confidently into their first year of formal schooling, while giving families peace of mind that their child is already known and supported by our staff.
